Joan Retallack offers a book of forms, like the medieval Book of
Hours, intended to draw readers into a meditative experience of
time, space, language, the many humors of chance and design, as
they intersect and leave their traces on the page. All of
civilization to date, all of history is after all aftermath,
afterthought, afterimage. The language graphics of AFTERRIMAGES lay
claim to the fragility--the gift, the terror, and the whimsy--of
the remnant that all images are. Their playful nature is born of
the conviction that the present tense--tense, tensile with immanent
futurity--must extend itself toward the unintelligible and unknown.
This is the frontier where the image hovers on the edge of its own
transfiguration, the threshold where poetry can take place.
