Somewords

Michael Aro's somewords is the second book in The Names of Things Trilogy. It begins with a sonnet on twenty-first century global corporatism and ends with a glossolalia of a contract. Sandwiched between the two is an imaginarium of contemporary poetic forms and meanings. The journey takes us from ancient Greece to a future filled with transhuman submariners. Using traditional and experimental poetry, flash fiction and prose poems, he creatively uncovers, discovers and rediscovers the faceted history of social and individual identity in all its incarnations.
