"Totem of Tautology" is a collection of over 350 "post-meditational" poems.
About the title: Tautology is traditionally associated with circular explanations and redundancy of articulation. And yet tautology, as a phenomenon of expression, spontaneously presents itself in our attempts to verbalize the complexity of the simplicities that befuddle us. Thus, tautology is both a confusing clarification and, paradoxically, a moment of clarity. This collection of poems, in its occasionally tautological manner, pursues a theme of polarity reversal of the “totem” of self-hood, from a sense of “I” to a sense of awe! It is my poetic hope, that in putting the dot not over the “I” but beneath it, you will appreciate the tautology of our self-exclamatory self-referencing. Enjoy the clarity of confusion.
