Summary:

"A kaleidoscopic net woven of words R. Kolewe's A Net of Momentary Sapphire offers three closely related poetic sequences, which are random recombinant rearrangements of a poignant but obsessively repetitive source text. They are streams of consciousness in which no stable self can be elucidated. A broken long poem, this singular net is an interrogation of the aftermath of twentieth-century modernism, looking both backwards and forwards - an eternal return. Once again & innumerable times again the required solitude, renunciation, strange curtained doubt artifice all jewelled & after this silent time, these days & nights in desert dry country, dry thoughts --from "The foretaste of a vision but never the vision itself""-- Provided by publisher.
