Homocaust - Paperback

In what I call a Rhizomatic Poetic, the unrooted pilgrim poet (and the reader as a sort of pilgrim writer through interpretation) rhetorically fills in elliptical meanings via envisaging metaphor, exploring diverse self-experiential contexts, imagining new universes in errantry, rupturing, mapping a-linearly, while proliferating without boundaries or centers in the margins of society without limits, rejecting principles of hegemonic, androcentric-arborescent roots, creating desire that is always in flux along new pathways of experimentation, manifesting into possibilities. This Rhizomatic Poetic inquiry explores diverse poetic acts based on a Pilgrimage I took walking for peace with Buddhist monks and other peaceniks halfway around the world from 1994 to 1995. I amplify, structure, and transform elements of my own experiences and "identity" into my poem, Homocaust.

These original contributions are my poesies' discursive narratives mutating through exploring fractured memory, decolonizing the "self," Otherness, romanticization of the Other, and subsequently sometimes with elicit performances of queer identities overlapping Rhizomatic voices in errantry while discovering every possible elsewhere, while becoming my own liberating vehicle into fresh opportunities and possibilities. The arts, specifically poetics, may be the only medium to weave these complex tasks, making the Rhizomatic Poet the "true" auditor of our world.
