NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA is finally available in hardback from my Lulu bookshop and the softback will shortly be available from most major platforms.
There will be no electronic version as for me personally, I prefer to hold a traditional analogue artefact in my hands, rather than read a virtual PDF on an electronic device, as I believe that there is still something rather magical about handling an actual book regarding the tactile touch, the feel, the weight, the smell of freshly cut paper, printed ink, the sound of the turning page and the closing book.
The word manuscript contains the word ‘manu‘, from the Latin ‘manus’ which means hand, and scriptus, meaning ‘to write’ which historically translates to ‘written by hand’. In addition to ‘hand‘, the pages also have a header, a footer, a body (of text), the book has a spine, and in older days a book was often covered with vellum, (animal skin), and so these parts of the book resemble a person, with its own story, and unique personality.
For me this book has been a labour of love and is really about discovering the hidden matrilineal core foundation of who we all are, and how we all exist, that has been hidden from us for centuries.
What I actively encourage is reading the book sequentially chapter by chapter for the first time to gain a generational overview, as it begins in the innocent 80’s; the last pre-digital decade of the twentieth century, I also encourage bookmarking pages as you go, using a highlighter for passages that resonate, looking up unfamiliar words, making notes in the margins and then going back and dipping in, as the content is very concentrated and it can take time to unpack. It is definitely a book that inspires thinking outside the box.
iPoem’s Blog also serves as a companion site for each of the 137 titles that appear in Noēma Poēma codex, providing an overview and a deeper insight into the mechanics of each poem, why it matters, and its relevance in the collection. ⏀
NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA pronounced Nóēma Poēma is a genre-defying body of poetics that transcends traditional literary boundaries, weaving manifesto, verse, transmission, philosophy, and invocation into a multidimensional map of the soul. Spanning nearly four decades of radical research and creativity. NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA pulses with fierce devotion to truth, liberation, and love, grounded in ancestral matrilineal wisdom. This is poetry as praxis. Art as resistance. Philosophy as heartbeat—a spiritual document for those who feel the world cracking open, knowing that now is the time to reclaim sovereignty, embody gnosis, and return to Source. NΦⵣMA PΦⵣMA is a rich, evolving mythopoetic narrative that blends avant-garde noetics and didactic instruction with storytelling and semi-fictional autotheory—a journey from the personal and intimate into the cosmic and transcendent. Read it slowly. Read it aloud. Let it rewire something ancient within you—Cat Catalyst is a multimodal artist, avant-garde noetic poet and creatrix of ecofeminist house music ⏀ More info: catcatalyst.co.uk
