Overview

Poetry. Translated from the Greek by John Sakkis and Angelos Sakkis. Composed in a red-and-black notebook that was made in China, Demosthenes Agrafiotis’s CHINESE NOTEBOOK addresses the act of (mis)communication in a world held sway to consumer capitalism and globalization. The conceits of abstraction, fragmentation and disjunction are employed here as a means to an end, as the language of corporate legalese begins to build, through accretion and overlap, into a personal metaphysics. Within these short, spare poems, Agrafiotis demonstrates the ways that language can formulate network–or, in his words, ensembles of meaning interacting with the flow of things.
