Echoes in Perpetuity does not enter as book but as breach—an insurgent text bearing writs of fire and memory. In Yaw Akyena Brantuo’s crucible, lyric yields to ordeal: thought is arraigned, form stretched, conscience enthroned. Here, Neo-Juridical Poetics governs. The quatrain becomes tribunal; meter, procedural law; rhyme, binding precedent; enjambment, a furtive equity; syntax, the scale of reckoning. From The Chain of Guilt to the austere I., the work prosecutes responsibility and cross-examines identity, returning again and again in refusal to look away. In that charged space of memory and doubt, poetry is transformed—the page a living court, the reader summoned, implicated, unable to depart unjudged.
