Description
Antipodes was borne from the discovery that a single line could be so fervently rich and meaningful both in its organic delivery and in its reflection. Antipodes are a form of poetry which can be read forward or backward word by word instead of line by line–which is the norm with reverse or tuanortsa poetry. Named after the term for direct opposites in geography, antipodes take a poetic approach to puzzle-piecing while maintaining the author’s voice.
