What the poet asks for, works obsessively to tap into, is a native tongue, a vernacular that bypasses the traps of a supposed rationality and objectivity forged in a body-politic consumed by self-interests that reduce our ontological experience. \u003ci\u003eThe Bare Bones of Our Alphabet\u003c\/i\u003e calls for an activation of our primary ways of seeing that perceive spontaneously, without deliberation, which have been subdued by the material beneficiaries of our world and deemed non-intelligent. The poems invite us to re-enter our truly \u003ci\u003ebare bones\u003c\/i\u003e--our empty, sparkling space--before the codified verb, with its imposed grammar, placed us in a consented incarceration. The poet endeavours to uncover \u003ci\u003ethe bare alphabets\u003c\/i\u003e we must return to--the redeeming letters--where the possibility of rebirth resides, for all and everything that has been annihilated by an unethical rhetoric, a verbosity of lies, engendered through undemocratic paradigms crafted by humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irene Marques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774151655","brand":"Mawenzi House Publishers Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293866131593,"sku":"9781774151655","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_17238e61-a00c-442b-a157-89b13c61792b.jpg?v=1737445026","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-bare-bones-of-our-alphabet-9781774151655","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
