Geoffrey Gatza's Self Geofferential, his latest collection of poetry and mixed media art, invites readers to embark on a journey that is as visually captivating as it is intellectually stimulating. In this intricate blend of words and images, Gatza creates a world where dreams, nature, memory, and myth intersect, all while referencing the self in ways both playful and profound. With echoes of John Ashbery’s surrealism and a bold, pop-art flair reminiscent of Andy Warhol, Gatza’s work is a celebration of the art of representation—whether it be in the form of text, visual collage, or the quiet spaces in between. This duality of form and content provides readers not only with a collection of beautiful poetry but also with striking, thought-provoking artwork that speaks to both the eye and the mind. In his self-referential exploration of life, death, and the imagination, Gatza offers a rich tapestry of meaning, weaving wisdom from the natural world and the realm of dreams into each poem. Charles Rammelkamp, in his review of Self Geofferential, takes us through Gatza's work, revealing its multilayered richness and the two-fold pleasure that both the poems and the artworks provide.
