AVATAR

'Pataphysics is a fictional science: the science of imaginary solutions. Sharon Harris proposes a problem for poetry to solve: how to unfold a book if a book is a lotus; how to unfold a word at the centre of that book?

AVATAR is a word that is commonly heard but rarely understood. AVATAR (in virtual reality) is an icon representing a person online. AVATAR is the bodily representation of a god in Hinduism. AVATAR is a little like dancing with a cartoon after it shimmies off-screen.

AVATAR is an Abstract Visual Asymmetric Technological Apperception Resource. AVATAR was Word Of The Day July 10, 2004.

AVATAR is Sharon Harris's first book of poems (The Mercury Press Nov 06). Please read AVATAR reviews here, here & here.
