Excellent- More about Catastrophe Theories
The poems in Catastrophe Theories reflect an unstable, surreal, and catastrophic world, exploring the lives and concepts of mathematicians, dream imagery, and science and nature. They are neither prescriptive nor hopeless, but offer moments of truth or joy.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 96 pages
Publication date: 31 May 2022
Publisher: Anvil Press
The poems in Catastrophe Theories encapsulate an increasingly unstable, surreal, and catastrophic world, written over the past decade and capturing the zeitgeist of the moment. In this world, human folly and frailty clash with corpocracy and technological determinism, yet these poems offer neither prescriptive nor hopeless narratives. Instead, Mari-Lou Rowley delves into the lives and concepts of mathematicians like Euclid, Hypatia, Alan Turing, and René Thom, alongside dream imagery and her deep love for science and nature. Through playful exploration of perception, Rowley fractures reality into kaleidoscopic visions, inviting the reader to contemplate the intricacies of existence. As her speaker asserts, "Rejoice or regret. You decide."
The poems in Catastrophe Theories reflect an increasingly unstable, surreal, and catastrophic world.
Written over the past decade, the poems in Mari-Lou Rowley's oracular work capture the zeitgeist of the moment.
A world where human folly and frailty compete with corpocracy and technological determinism against the stubborn magnificence of the natural world.
Yet, these poems are neither prescriptive nor hopeless.
Exploring the lives and concepts of mathematicians such as Euclid, Hypatia, Alan Turing, and René Thom, along with dream imagery and her love of science and nature, Rowley toys with perception, fractures reality into kaleidoscopic visions, and then brings the reader back to small, everyday moments of truth or joy.
As her speaker says, "Rejoice or regret. You decide."
