The Mind of Motion: A collection of
philosophical essays
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-0-9
...themes that were taken up in this series of literary and poetic reflections put the heart in motion as much as the mind.
-Prof. Stephen R. Palmquist (D.Phil., Oxford University)
The Layers Between (Proverse Prize 2014)
BY CELIA CLAASE
Claase...reminds us that the French scientist, Antoine Lavoisier, proved “things” can transform into “nothing”. In his experiments, he showed that in any transformation not a single amount of matter is ever lost and neither is any amount of matter ever gained. Taking this up, Claase explores the themes of Energy, Motion, Change, Information and Consciousness.
-Jeffrey Grenfell-Hill (Review from Word Matters, Volume 66, Number 1. Summer 2016, page 16)
Undoing Knots
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-5-4
Undoing Knots is a courageous collection of poetry. The poems are easy to read, yet each poem offers surprise and depth, combining altogether into a fluent chapbook. The poems describe the life of a woman full of expressed but untold memories...There is as much loss as there is wonder, as much longing as there is gratitude, and the desire to be seen and known. And, finally, there is as much vulnerability as there is resilience. This is the life of one woman, perhaps of every woman, who declares, “In these gaps—I live.” (A Loved One)
-Prof. Birgit Bunzel Linder, poet and author of Shadows of Deferment and Bliss of Bewilderment
Ancient Wisdoms
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-3-0
A collection of poems tracing belief systems from the ancient world, from the Abrahamic religions and theosophy in the West, to Hinduism and Buddhism in the East, as well as meditations on perceptions of otherness and on ‘God’ itself – a state of the absolute that is ultimately undefinable.
-Gary Cummisky, editor, poet and publisher at Dyeheart-Press
Information Exchange
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-4-7
Celia Claase’s chapbook Information Exchange, ostensibly about how humans communicate between themselves, with nature and within themselves, is a quiet insistent force that speaks of survival and states of being. It is filled with pensive compassion for fear and failure. It is a gospel of iron determination and guileless wonder; natural phenomena proliferate and alternately mystify and enlighten human subjects as they strive for edification... a compactly brilliant chapbook by the author of The Layers Between.
-Akin Jeje, author of Smoked Pearl
To Live In A Body
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-2-3
Reading Celia Claase is taking time to refresh your understanding of formations of life. Here, light, sound, fruits and flesh, and love, all synchronise into a living collection of bodies. To Live in a Body is a book of matter and memories, articulate and inarticulate. With this collection, Celia seeks to show various shapes of time, of consciousness, and even death. She says: 'Wood, stones and bones / are made of slowness.' It is impossible to forget this vision.
-David Ishaya Osu, Author of When I’m Eighteen.
Torrential Dreams
26 poems about 26 dreams
BY CELIA CLAASE
ISBN: 978-988-76092-1-6
Torrential Dreams boils down the dream material we all have at hand (in our psyche) to its lyrical essence. In this way, Claase’s curated dreams evoke the lineage of Surrealism, that which locates the thin line between the excessively average and the overly bizarre. We don’t have to read Torrential Dreams to specifically (psycho) analyse the subject, Celia Claase, as we can easily recognise this familiar yet disconcerting landscape. This disconcerting familiarity is Torrential Dreams' focus, a flip-side to the literary impetus for addressing the quotidian while still acknowledging that dreams, no matter how fantastic, are implicitly part of everyday life.
-Andrew S. Guthrie, author of Alphabet and Paul’s Records
