SHOWCASE FOR EDEN
Eden is a selection of hybrid pareidolia poetry which glides within abstract visions. Robert Frede Kenter's mirrored shards dangle inside sensory gardens. Smoke encircles words communicating raw politics and myth through jazzy vibrations twinkling in the shadows. Kentor's poetry contours paint, collage, drawn figures, photos and found text. This imaginative collection, along with his other works and collaborations spanning more than three decades, solidify his space in the experimental poetry scene."
