Synopsis "The Metaphorest"
Metaphorest is a neologism created by Martin Settle the author of this work by the same name. It is the synthesis of words metaphor and forest. The themes of The Metaphorest fit into many of the new words and terms that are becoming salient in these times - Symbiocene, Wood Wide Web, Anthropocene, Grammar of Animacy, Mutualism, and Mycorrhizal Networks. Settle believes we cannot express ourselves adequately without the metaphorical values of nature. We become less than human and linguistically impoverished, if we cannot as he does, use: jewelweed as a metaphor for desire, giant puffballs for the beginnings of thought, moss as existential survival, bees as Trappist monks, and peepers as the poet's goal. The last poem of this collection is an overview of all the masks of nature that Mr. Settle has tried on in order to be able to write The Metaphorest.
