A three-part long poem about the impacts of 20th century modernism
R. Kolewe's A Net of Momentary Sapphire offers three closely related poetic sequences, random rearrangements of a poignant but obsessively repeating source text – streams of consciousness in which no stable self can be elucidated. A broken long poem, this singular net is an interrogation of the aftermath of twentieth-century modernism, looking both backwards and forwards – an eternal return. (From Talonbooks)
