Poetry / Flash

The poems and prose of Hunting the Cosmos engage with and interrogate
the art of midcentury Spanish-Mexican surreal artist Remedios Varo, expanding
the absurd dreamwork, surprising realities, and meanings of paintings and
text. The occult, technology, fairy tales, and religion all play roles.
Transformation through alchemy, magic, and science is a significant theme, as
well as the metamorphosis of art and experience into new art. Award-winning
poet Luanne Castle brings Varo’s sensibilities to life on the page in
this beautiful ekphrastic collection of prose poems, lyric poems, and
microfiction.
