Cosmo=textual: a novel in space

Cosmo=textual: a novel in space is a genre-bending ride through the cosmos and the mind of its creator, Andrew Mbaruk.

A heavily slant-rhymed long poem, this cosmo=text is a novel in verse (and in the space around the verse!) blending confessional poetry with the wonders of space travel, aliens, and other crucial science-fictive elements.

Think Berryman's Dream Songs meets the vast unknown, as the poem's speaker gracefully takes his readers on a wild, humorous journey through the cosmos of his text.

Mbaruk-rapper, lo-fi rock musician, poet-offers a cosmo=textual exploration clever as it is strange.

The protagonist is none other than Mbaruk himself, a space mechanic banished to Earth-watch him try to turn his Oldsmobile into a spaceship!

Along the way, his poem is filled with lyric beauty standing on its own...almost separate from the narrative...but deeply enriching it, inviting readers to step into a world both thoughtfully insane and insanely thoughtful!

Perfect for fans of long modernist poems, narrative epics, or anyone in search of something daring and inventive, Cosmo=textual is a journey through a mind unmoored and a text that binds together the real and the written.

And as a bonus, Cosmo=textual: the soundtrack-a rock-rap album set for release alongside the book sometime in 2025-lets the cosmo=text come alive in a more musical way.
