Casting Sequences

Casting Sequences is a collection of American poetry by Marjorie Welish. This volume 1 work focuses on language as a direct experience rather than a mere depiction of sense. Drawing inspiration from French Symbolists and the Surrealists, Welish utilizes sound associations and stylistic precision to explore the relationship between words and consciousness.

The poems in Casting Sequences examine the act of writing and reading, positioning language as the primary medium through which existence is defined. These American poetry selections prioritize the provocative play of words, treating the medium of language as the center of human awareness. Welish presents a series of lyrical encounters that challenge traditional poetic assumptions and elevate the power of the written word.
