The Sunflower Cast A Spell To Us From The Void by Jackie Wang, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Jackie Wang's magnetic and spellbinding debut collection of poetry that attempts to speak in the language of dreams. In The Sunflower, Wang follows the sunflower's many dream guises-its evolving symbolism in literature, society, and the author's own dream life using a mathopoetic technique to generate poems using the Fibonacci sequence (a pattern found in the seed spirals of sunflower). The Sunflower Cast a Spell to Save Us from the Void embodies what Wang calls oneiric poetry: a poetry that attempts to speak in the language of dreams. Although dreams, in psychoanalytic discourse, have been conceptualized as a window into the unconscious, Wang's poetry emphasizes the social dimension of dreams, particularly the use of dreams to index historical trauma and social processes. | The Sunflower Cast A Spell To Us From The Void by Jackie Wang, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
