Hivado

"Hívado's disrupted surfaces force their reader to reassess the sharp boundaries between sound and world, how these borders are rendered in consciousness, speech, and on the page."

~Garin Cycholl, The Typescript

"The architecture of Hívado constructs and creates a text that is as much about space as it is about words. In his manipulation of the white space of the page as well as the line, Colarusso generates in the reader a response that is akin to the delight in finding one's way through a maze, or solving or putting a puzzle together. His bold use of the caesura yields a work that is literally cracked and, therefore, open to all the complicated and difficult energies that that word connotes. Hívado, whose cracks both let in and emit light, is a world unto itself—one in which play, the serious play at the centre of our existence, is at work."
