Synopsis "The Grammar of Self: Collected Poems 2000-2023"

In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But this volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is "not something that one finds. It is something that one creates."[1] This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, that together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation. [1] Szasz, T.S. The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973) p49.
