In Praise of holyrit, Volume IV, The Grammaton Series (BlazeVOX, 2019)

Between gilgul and galgal, logos and gematria, Irene Koronos’ fourth volume of the Grammaton Series, holyrit delivers a spectacular juxtapoiesis of textual and sonic probes— fragrant ellipses, fragments and eclipse, where all that is sacred, secular, savage and ex-static explode as sparks of light reminding us how the letters themselves are the building blocks of creation.

And if “mysticism” is that which does not fit into the system; that which cannot be absorbed, holyrit presents itself as a “mystical” act, performed through exile and fluidity and virtuosic fluxuriance.

—Adeena Karasick
