[a go]

In her second full-length poetry collection, Gabrielle Joy Lessans takes us on a sonic and spatial exploration of relationships between self & friend, lover, spirit, void. [a go] gives shape and sound to the flowing forward of a revelatory moment in time as experienced by a devoted witness uncertain of anything but her own sincerity. A preoccupation with the dharma and a kabbalistic interplay of nothingness/somethingness pervades Lessans's yearning, questioning, open-field text that returns frequently to themes of ecosystem, friendship, solitude, embrace of ever-shifting being, and ecstatic experience.
