In A Book of Common Rituals, Brian Clements presents a fantastic and mundane religion in which all the rituals are built around the absurdity of human behavior, all the beliefs are founded on what is regrettable and all the dogma exists for the purpose of celebrating the tragicomedy of human folly. Using sequences of prose poems with accompanying texts and images, Clements invites us to enter a temple that welcomes everyone, especially heathens and blasphemers. In the world created by A Book of Common Rituals, readers become willing participants in behaviors that may seem eerily similar to the rituals that inhabit their own individual imaginations.
Brian Clements is a master of prose poetry with a style that few people can adequately follow. This book is a series of rituals that people perform on a daily basis, each one delivered with wit and complexity both as he questions the reasons why we follow rituals and what the word truly means.A great read for any poet looking for new ideas.
