primitive magnetics is a collection of poems with supporting images.

(Three Voids Press, 2025, 195 pages.)

primitive (adj.) — late 14c. Old French, primitif, “of an original cause; of a thing from which something is derived; not secondary”.

magnetic (adj.) — 17c.“possessing an extraordinary power or ability to attract”.

Primitive magnetics as attractors, earlier than thoughts and feelings, to which we can be drawn.

Attractions to the endless imaginal productions of our psychic fields.

The book is in three parts: tales of magnetics, aphophatics, and 20 minimalisms.

In Part 1, tales of magnetics, poems are developed that rest, often implicitly, on the atmosphere of the realm of cerebria.
Part 2, apophatics, is an exploration of some apophatic magnetics – that can draw one into gleanings of the suchness and emptiness beneath all phenomena.
In Part 3 of the book there is a return to some minimalist words, a continuation of the minimalisms book in the earlier book stations.
