Review of B.W. Powe’s Recent Book Mysteria by Ivona Jozinovic

Mysteria by BW Powe, is an excellent work of art and a must-read. The handwritten font of the pages echo the motif of wind and waves that runs throughout the work. The curling letters and sharp lines embody the meaning of the words in the form of the font and there is something deeply soothing about that. It brings the reader immediately somewhere more personal than a mechanized font would. To read and engage with Mysteria is to engage with an interdisciplinary and deeply personal work of poetry, prose, and art – that spans Cordoba and rests in many ways in Toronto. However, what stands out most and what I come back to is the form – the handwriting which is Powe’s own, the attention to the pages and the unique structure makes Mysteria more than a poetry collection or an artists’ book but a piece of art in and of itself.
