Imagems 2

<p><em>Imagems 2</em> contains six statements by a poet who continues to challenge modernism and post-modernism alike. This chapbook complements and elaborates Richard Berengarten’s <em>Imagems 1</em> (2013). In this sequel the borders between poetic theory and practice blur for some of these texts are prose-poems in themselves. While their themes are rooted in the here-now their 12-point structures call to mind early 20th century manifestos and late 20th century memoranda. Themes include the birth of poetry in sound breath and inner speech; the interdependence of the universal and the particular; and language light and vision. <em>Imagems 3</em> is on the way.</p>
