Haunted Poems: An Architecture of Absence
by J. A. Gucci
Haunted Poems is not a book of ghosts. It's a book of systems-compressed events where perception, voice, and presence strain against themselves without resolution.
Structured through paradox triads and expressive modes, each poem becomes a high-pressure field where logic fractures, sensation flickers, and meaning remains suspended. Rather than unfolding through narrative or lyric explanation, these pieces operate at the edge of language-where silence is structural and absence exerts force.
The collection is divided into three sections, each governed by its own triadic tension:
Event Horizon: Presence / Signal / Refusal
Apparitional Systems: Voice / Transmission / Disappearance
Trace Index: Impulse / Detour / Trace
Built on a unique poetic architecture, this book challenges the reader to construct coherence, not consume it. There are no tidy interpretations here. Each poem is a site-of decay, friction, or false arrival.
Ideal for readers of conceptual poetics, hauntological texts, or minimalist form, Haunted Poems resists categorization. It invites re-reading, scholarly attention, and inhabitation without guarantees.
You are not being told a story.
You are inside a malfunctioning machine.
It is beautiful. It is breaking.
It is recording you.
An Instructor Edition is also available, including triadic scaffolds and trace notes for classroom use.
