Written by Bonnie Stanard
We don’t all think alike, but to some of us, life is an ever-present enigma. Stanard writes that life “chases me in cycles defying viewpoint.” With Bracelli’s cubist art as inspiration, she skillfully renders compositions that introduce us to an original and unexpected reading experience. This is a mix of pithy poems, some profound and others amusing.

Giovanni Battista Bracelli was an Italian engraver and painter working in Florence, Italy, in the 17th century. The artwork here is taken from his book of prints titled Bizzarie di Varie Figure (“Oddities of various figures”). In forty-seven plates, he portrayed interacting human figures, their forms made of cubes, rings, and squares, as well as rackets and screws. A digital copy of the original manuscript can be found at the Library of Congress.
