There was perhaps (book), 2017

"There Was Perhaps" is a poem that was born in English. It is a tribute to Odilon Redon's artwork, specifically "There Was Perhaps a First Vision Attempted in the Flower," plate 2 from 8 from "Les Origines" 1883. The lithography and poetics of this artist serve as a catalyst to enumerate 49 statements that incorporate the phrase "there was perhaps" in various ways. It pays homage to Odilon Redon, María Zambrano, William Blake, Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Edward Gorey, and Carl Sagan.

 

The poem is composed of interchangeable statements and images that invite the reader to choose their own adventure between the light and darkness of what it means to be human.
