‘have you ever meta haiku?’ is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest journey through healing from trauma, addiction recovery, and accepting and embracing trans identity. moving through the darkness of rock bottoms and abuse whilst finding humour, light, and hope in self reflection, it is as funny as it is moving, and as entertaining as it is informative. It showcases gorjeoux’s 'book shaped kinetic poetry sculptures' - conceptual concrete poems which the reader must haptically engage with and perform in order to experience them, and by doing so may explore what ‘book’ and ‘page’ can be and mean once one steps outside of conventional expectations of form. these are poems in which words dance across the page - they appear, disappear, or morphing into new ones as they move through and within the paper they are embedded in. Sometimes they light up upon opening, sometimes they are voice activated, and sometimes they speak for themselves - always they reveal more hidden depths, meanings, and metaphors, than simple words on a page can.
‘this is trans poetry
this is my body, be fucking careful,
but do it right and we’re
going to have a really good time’
