Visual Poetry: A Dynamic Interplay

by Bacopa Literary Review Poetry Co-Editor Oliver Keyhani Fig. 1. Typescract 63 Dom Sylvester Houedard, 1963, 20x12.5 cm Visual poetry bends the script, the letter, the consonants, the vowels. It allows for a from oral tradition to written text to imagery of the written text. Modern visual poetry is as dynamic and diverse as any art form. It can, but does not have to push a dialogue (dialect?) between visual arts and literature, between representation and abstraction, between constructions and deconstructions. Visual poetry spans lettering, typography, handwriting, and collage. From t ..read more

An Act of Discovery

by Creative Nonfiction contributor Adam Knight Writing is an act of discovery. -- Natalie Goldberg Discovery of what? Sometimes, writers plumb the depths of other people's thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, writers discover something about the world they did not previously understand. Sometimes they learn about themselves. My essay "Little Bird" in Bacopa Literary Review 2021 is a vignette about a moment in my life so small that I doubt anyone else involved even remembers it. Yet it was a pivotal moment for me, one that confirmed something I had begun to suspect in adolescence. I was different ..read more

The House: An Essay on Labor and Loneliness

by Bacopa Literary Review 2021 Poetry contributor Atreyee Gupta On certain quiet after-midnight hours I hear the place where I live express itself audibly: wooden joints creak, old pipes groan, wind sifts through cracks. My home comes alive for me during these times. And I become not only an inhabitant and a caretaker of the space, but also a fellow living organism in conversation with the dwelling. In my poem, "The House," I explore the tension of this relationship and the impact labor and loneliness have upon that connection. My abode is "belligerent upon disruption," waiting "to be--cajoled ..read more

The Healing Wave

by Bacopa Literary Review 2021 Fiction contributor David Partington My story "The Healing WAVE" is a coming together of two separate threads. I'd been reading a lot of Saki, the Edwardian short story writer, since the start of the pandemic, and found more than ten instances where he had built a plot around someone telling elaborate lies--often a teen lying to an adult. I wanted to try something similar, but fact checking has become so easy in the internet age that such a plot would hardly be tenable. For this reason I decided to make my protagonist a Luddite around 1999. The other thread arose ..read more

Emissary on the Wall

by Bacopa Literary Review 2021 Prose Poetry contributor Danae Younge I remember sitting on my living room couch at around 1:00 AM, looking at the ceiling and pockets of space where I might find an idea to craft a poem. That part is always the most painful--the waiting, knowing for certain I am going to create something before being able to sleep but not having any clue what it is. Even after the idea comes to me and I'm in the process of putting it into words, this intense itching feeling persists. I don't think I've ever related more to a sentiment about writing than Dorothy Parker's epiphany ..read more

Hunger for a More Fruitful World

 by Bacopa Literary Review 2021 Poetry contributor Frederick Livingston Over the course of several weeks in late winter, I noticed the apples, plums and pears come alive in my new home on the Northern California coast. I struggled to understand the phenomenon at first. It didn't feel like spring yet and I was concerned that an unexpected frost might shatter this frail unfurling. Slowly, I noticed other plants revealing flowers, until eventually the landscape was covered in color. Suddenly spring felt definitive. I wondered what would have happened if the fruit trees, with their long sens ..read more
