Poems that consider the complexities of human life and the ways that we perceive reality.
In Omitting All That is Usually Said, Robin Caton explores the nature of light, form, language, meaning, and thought, alongside the complexity of their interwoven relationships. Caton interrogates the workings of the human mind and explores the way we integrate disparate perceptions. Caton questions whether we can be certain that things really exist and that all we experience isn’t simply a play of light and shadow. She considers how we live with all the limitations and emotional turmoil imbedded in humanity, while also maintaining a sense of something we call perfection. The poems of Omitting All That is Usually Said investigate how we might capture the depths of conflicting experiences and lived knowledge in ways that we can comprehend, and they marvel at how we find delight in all of it.
