3.0
The New Arcana by John Amen and Daniel Y. Harris is highly experimental and mixes poetry with photos and art, and much more. It is broken down into five sections, preceded by a list of dramatic personas in a couple of instances, which in fact set the stage for what comes next. While experimental in form, there are traditional elements as well, including references to Greek myths and the journey of Odysseus. Through this experimentation, readers must pay closer attention to the words, phrases, fonts, and other elements in the collection to discern meaning or the story. This is a thinking reader’s book, but it’s also a book of pure lunacy and fun as the personas take over and yell at one another in a banter that just generates smirks and laughs.
