A lavish edition of 94 ekphrastic haiku and senryu in Irish and English responding to full-colour collages by Karl Waldmann. Judgement Day is Gabriel Rosenstock’s latest reckoning of who and what we are between the shoals of eternal good and historical evil, vision and blindness. His lantern is a bright one and illuminates vast, evolving worlds of mind, matter and choice, within a cosmology where anything appears and proves to be possible. The dark rubble, tossed forms, and dissociation of Karl Waldmann’s collage art, give to each of Rosenstock’s poems a setting of tactile grit that singes the imagination.
