The form of the diptych shapes language and meaning, symmetry and difference. Edward Carson’s twofold delivers a liminal gathering of short diptych poems exploring themes of love, relationships, myth, art, language, math, physics, geometry, and artificial intelligence, framed within Ovidian and Homeric echoes of transformation.
The poet Charles Simic wrote, “Short poems: be brief and tell us everything.”
Edward Carson’s extraordinary new work gathers concise diptych – or twofold – poems exploring themes of love, relationships, myth, art, language, math, physics, geometry, and artificial intelligence. Within the two sections of twofold, “dialogues” and “binaries,” the form of the diptych shapes language and meaning as paired poems engage each other across the margins of facing pages. Caroline Bem, author of A Moveable Form, writes: “The diptych, you see, is beautiful. It is symmetry and difference, doubling and mirroring, binarism and seriality. It is the form of paradox, both open and closed, free and contained.”
Negotiating surprising twinning combinations, comparisons, and outcomes, the poems in twofold are lively, thought-provoking, and playful interchanges that are also mischievously literate, questioning, and intuitive.
