"[Meggeson]...highlights language as a montage of shattered light, madness and healing--offering a model for thinking about alternative modes of communication and poetic innovation." Adeena Karasick, author of Ouvert Oeuvre: Openings
soma synthesis
poetry chapbook
The poems in Sean G. Meggeson’s soma synthesis pull language
apart and reassemble it through art, memory, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and mythology.
They punctuate thoughts and memories, surfing through channels, until an
undeniable music emerges—like listening to overlapping conversations spilling
out from another room, but as the voices build, the whole of it crashes over the
reader in sonic waves. Here, meaning transforms into a sensory and associative
experience. In a stream of unconsciousness, the reader is swept headfirst
through a gritty, gin-soaked dreamscape of Toronto that hums with a haunting,
creative energy—equal parts shattered homage to the life of Italian filmmaker
Pier Paolo Pasolini and Meggeson’s personal memoir of crisis. In this chapbook,
Sean G. Meggeson—winner of the 2024 League of Canadian Poets Spoken Word
Award—synthesizes mind with body, past with present, and the unspoken with
song.
