The O and The Owl by Leanne Bridgewater

The O and The Owl by Leanne Bridgewater

The O and The Owl is about a play on the 'o' and the 'owl' as a word, phonically, but also metaphorically: environment; animal instinct; nature. We have become so dependent on having to know what everything means, we ask it too much. The O and The Owl - what does it mean? It has no formal meaning but it asks you 'what do you think / what do you see / do you see the play on word / do you see the oblong rhythm / do you see the hidden politics / do you feel tongue-twisted / do you see the micro-meanings instead of 'what is the true meaning of this?' - Language's seatbelt has become unfastened, landing face-down in earth where the tongue licks and sniffs at it in a playful manner - and then the owl comes!
