Product Description
by Chard Deniord (Author)
One as Other, is a wonderful poetry collection written in a distinctly minimalist style. Focused on brevity and precise lyrical diction, the poems cover many different subjects from being focused on gardening and nature imagery, to more worldly and atmospheric poems, to the more political, philosophical, and religious. Distinctly non-narrative, most of deNiord's poems instead explore the emotional effect of an accumulation of lines through precise diction, musicality, and subversive movements. There's also this incredible musicality to the collection through the use of alliteration and internal rhyme. deNiord also explores the effect of small subversive movements within his poems, that give a richness to his work. The reader needs to be paying attention, and those small movements serve as a way to introduce surprise and a tonal change.
