Synkroniciti is thrilled to welcome poet, writer and phenomenologist Lori Howe. Lori is one of the creators of the cadralor, a new poetic form consisting of 5 separate stanzaic episodes which could stand alone, but complement each other and interrelate in way that gives the piece a larger structure… it’s sort of like coming at an idea from different sources or angles. We are privileged to feature several cadralor in the upcoming issue, and one of them is Lori’s “Cadralor #9 “(dis)articulation–for Patrick.” It is a joining together of head and heart to examine what it means to be human (Synkroniciti’s favorite subject).
