Featured Artist
Drew Vanderburg

Repetition of WORDS to explode, revoke, renew, expand, or destroy their meanings. BIG words like LOVE GOD SEX WORK PLAY WAR PEACE ART FOOD BIRTH DEATH."
polysemy [poliâ€seeâ€mi]: a linguistic term for a word's capacity to carry two or more distinct meanings, e.g. grave: �serious� or �tomb� (see also homonym). In some modern linguistic and literary theory, it is argued that all signs are polysemic, and the term has been extended to larger units including entire literary works. See also ambiguity, multiâ€accentuality.
