The captivating and linguistically playful conclusion to Wayne Koestenbaums acclaimed trance poem trilogy, Ultramarine, is a mesmerizing blend of collage-poems that delve into the depths of desire, cultural touchstones, and salty memories. Drawing inspiration from four years of Koestenbaums trance notebooks (2015-2019), Ultramarine weaves together a series of tightly-sewn fragments, creating a vibrant tapestry of imagery and emotion.
Extending beyond Prousts iconic madeleine, Ultramarine imagines a "deli" version of utopia, crafted from the delectable elements of hamantaschen, cupcakes, and cucumber. Interludes in Rome, Paris, and Cologne offer moments of playful exploration, immersing the reader in the languages of Italian, French, and German. As the poet delves into the world of painting and its processes, the canvas becomes a realm of vibrant colors, as if the poet were attempting to unravel the mysteries of blue, pink, and orange.
Ultramarine transcends the boundaries of the literal world, venturing into dream-habitats conjured through the occult structures of language. It weaves a tapestry of memories, spanning across Europe and beyond, inviting the reader to embark on a journey of introspection and discovery. With its rich linguistic artistry and vivid imagery, Ultramarine is a testament to Wayne Koestenbaums exceptional talent and his ability to create a poetic landscape that is both captivating and thought-provoking.
