The Pearl Diver of Irunmani
AUTHOR
Marc Vincenz
Marc Vincenz seeks nothing less than to track and sing “the forms life takes / as it vanishes and reappears / then as it dissolves.” Marc Vincenz’s The Pearl Diver of Irunmani charts the paths of consciousness on an aquatic journey into the heart of mind and matter. What does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be alive preparing for death? What animates the soul moments before death? In this collection, Marc Vincenz trans-navigates the oceans of consciousness that contain all the elements of life and death … and rebirth. In a language that is spare and ghostly, the narrator embarks upon finding that pearl of knowledge embedded in the heart of meaning.
