Hologlyphs: Twilight Fields

HOLOGLYPHS is a neologism, fused from the terms 'whole' and 'image', and describes a poetic style reminiscent of works from T'ang dynasty China, as both literary directions are in-part, image-based. However, unlike T'ang period pieces, the works in this volume are more centered in imagistic archetypes - aspiring to Ezra Pound's vision of the "Luminous detail." These poems are meditative and quiet, yet in similar fashion to descriptions of Harold Budd's ethereal music, they possess a thin veneer of serenity that masks darker currents behind silhouettes of the passing day. Perhaps a more fitting summation of the essence of these pieces would be captured by the Japanese term "Yuugen"- roughly translated as 'mystery in beauty'. Yeatts says: ..".Poetry must reverberate with the eternal and stand as meditations on what it means to be briefly alive, delivering a distillation and re-animation of transcendent experience, woven of mystery, beauty and the eternal moment..." This introductory selection of Yeatts' work presents a unified palette that paints patinas of impermanence, yet never loses sight of the 'whole image' contained within the moment's timeless light.
