Explore the intricate world of language and its transformations with "gifts" by rob mclennan. This poetry collection delves into fractal wordplay, where language initiates and replicates its own unique patterns. McLennan's work examines found fragments, self-mirroring phrases, and the evolution of meaning as language moves. The poems are intimate, addressed to the poet's intimates, ranging from valentines to remembrances and homages. "Incomplete" offers a fascinating look at unexpected words interrupting texts, turning statements into questions and highlighting the beauty of incompletion. "Weightless" explores freeing the signifier from the signified, bracketing and striking through our understanding of the 'real world' outside language. Unifying these parts are the poet's personae: the intimate lover, the interrupting other, the unattainable weightlessness, and the gravitational pull of the landscape. This 160-page paperback is a profound exploration of language, love, and the unfinished nature of experience. Summary: Talonbooks poetry book by rob mclennan.
