Oracule

A poetry collection Nicole Raziya Fong.

Nicole Raziya Fong

ORACULEoccurs at the intersection of poetry and theatre. Its characters inhabit a classical and cosmological world where psychic phenomena constantly threaten to impinge upon the arc of combat occurring between the women trapped within. Influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche'sThe Birth of Tragedy, the writings of Plato, the films of Pier Paolo Pasolini, andThe Odyssey,ORACULEapproaches self and identity through a fractal, performative lens, subverting Socratic dialogue. Through lyric expressions of dream, theatrical dialogue, the engagements of chorus, anti-chorus, and song, readers may pause to enterORACULEbefore the inevitable exile: the result of such engagement is to be cast permanently from the world of reason. (From Talonbooks)

Nicole Raziya Fong is a poet living in Montreal. She is also the author of the poetry collectiionPerfact.
