Kaleidoscope, by Thomas DeJosia

Poetry, chapbook, 40 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Kaleidoscope is a whimsical and highly imaginative chapbook of poems that explores thematic elements of art, philosophy, physics, love, nature, and the nature of writing through an unorthodox use of language and syntax in an almost Seussical rhythm.

This chapbook of poems will challenge the reader to explore ideas and think differently. Thomas DeJosia fundamentally rips apart the English language through word repetition, non-linear sentences, enigmatic insights, and poetic philosophical humor. He re-creates a new model of reality by consciously using language that draws attention to its form. The way that light goes into a Kaleidoscope and creates fractals, is the same way that Thomas uses language to create patterns.
