Description
Book of Disorders is a lush text bursting with melodies and dissonances. It examines the very substance of poetry itself and discovers that when language is dysfunctional, when it is broken and no longer tethered to its use and practicality, it is free to rediscover its own basic textures and possibilities.
About the author
A member of the Toronto literary scene since the late 1990's, Luciano Iacobelli is a Toronto poet, visual artist, editor, and cultural events organizer. He is the author of six full length collections of poetry: The Angel Notebook (2007), The Book of Disorders (2011), Painting Circles (2011), The Emu Dialogues (with Jens Kohler and Robert Marra, 2015), The Examined Life (2016), Dolor Midnight (2018). Noctograms is his seventh collection, and the work where his preoccupation with merging the literary with the visual is most fully realized.
