Description
Astéronymes by Claire Trevien is a thought-provoking collection of poetry that explores the intersection of nature and technology. With its inventive language and intricate composition, this book delves into the themes of decay, erosion, and neglect, using the French term astéronyme to describe a sequence of asterisks used to hide names or passwords. In Astéronymes, Trevien takes readers on a journey through the landscapes of Scotland, where ancient stone circles meet the digital world. The book's central sequence recounts a journey across Arran, a remote island with myths carved into its caves and a mountain shrouded in mystery. Through her unique voice and poetic style, Trevien curates imaginary museums, indexing objects and histories with a sense of wonder and curiosity. This follow-up to her acclaimed debut, The Shipwrecked House, showcases Trevien's skill as a poet and her ability to craft compelling narratives from the fragments of language and memory.
