From the Unreached Let Perception Radiate

Domingo Notaros poems struggle to fix an innocent gaze on a contemporary world that appears more and more fraught with inhumanity and cruelty. They explore themes of exile, fertility, the human bodys connection to the wider cosmos, and the corrupting influence of power. Often literally scattered across the page, the poems compel the reader to become an active participant in a quest for sense and meaning. Halfway between lucid vision and prophetic hallucination, Notaros poems seem to lean over the edge of an infinite vacuum-terrifying, at times, like the undifferentiated darkness of an Hegelian night, or overwhelmingly beautiful like the azure depth of a blue sky.
