Overview

These poems are a clattering collision of typewriter keys, channeling the avant-garde rhythms of Jackson Pollock, Jackson Mac Low, and John Cage. The words stretch thin, white space bleeding through, and then they compress-thoughts, sounds, images, and memories layering themselves one over another. They are inkblots of language-abstract, atemporal, unconscious-inviting the reader to fill in gaps, to find words even when the letters jumble and splatter across the page. Sean G. Meggeson's j tells the fractured story of a self in flashes and fragments, in smudges and blurs. It is a collage of twentieth-century history and culture, art, literature, philosophy, music, physics, psychoanalysis, and glimmers of everyday Canadian life. In his first full-length collection, Meggeson unfurls each poem like a shuddering ink ribbon, every letter a tactile, metal punch into paper.
