Words say too much to let you know the truth.“ George Quasha’s torqued, enigmatic proverbs create unlikely balances among discrepant engagements. The vectors of these marvellous poems work at cross purposes, keeping each other aloft. These are sparkling aphoristic aporias for a new age in an old time.
Poetry says Quasha resists immortality with difficulty. And also with wit and charm. Be here now, in which case immortality will take care of itself.

Charles Bernstein, author of Attack of the Difficult Poems
If William Blake’s Proverbs of Hell are poetry, then George Quasha’s preverbs are like a close cousin. It’s core question is: can poetry say the unsayable? Like Blake’s work, Glossodelic Attractors makes you wonder: what is poetry? A well-established poetic tradition both modern and post-modern some call it experimental – starts its definition with: poetry is not what you think it is. Its work is journeying inside language, as if passing through a distant country or else another reality. It conveys news of alternate dimensions showing through in the here-and-now, embedded inside our everyday thoughts and speaking.
