<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Absence of Zero</i> is a triumphantly-executed celebration of the long poem tradition. Consisting of 256 16-line quartets, and 34 free-form interruptions, this slow-moving haunting work is a beautiful example of thinking in language, a meditation that explores time and memory in both content and form. The 20th century is already more than 20 years past: <i>The Absence of Zero</i> is Kolewe's elegy to that era, and the disparate fragments of its ideas that continue to affect and disrupt our present.</p><p><i></i></p><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for R. Kolewe: </b></p><p>"Kolewe enacts a curious, seemingly imperceptible talent for rendering nostalgia party to a mode of true grace, not the flatly sentimental, but instead this work invokes the cool gravity of viewing one's self-but-not seated alone in a quiet room, seemingly suspended forever in a discrete moment of space-time." --Liz Howard, Griffin Poetry Prize winning author of <i>Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>R.
