Systems of Defense: A Structural Composition of Defense Mechanisms is a collection of poems built through Absolute Composition, a method that removes explanation, transition, and internal narration in favor of observable structure. Each poem corresponds to a psychological defense mechanism, not by describing it, but by enacting it through parallel systems drawn from the natural world.
Organized into six sections-Pressure Systems, Transformations, Withdrawal & Reduction, Identity & Relation, Redistribution, and Transfer & Separation-the book presents each mechanism as a condition to be encountered rather than explained. The reader is not guided toward meaning but is required to construct it through observation, pattern recognition, and inference.
An appendix of paradox triads provides structural mappings for each defense mechanism, offering a framework for deeper analysis without resolving the poems themselves. This dual structure allows the book to function both as a work of conceptual poetry and as a tool for interdisciplinary study.
Accessible to general readers while also suited for high school and early higher education settings, Systems of Defense bridges poetry, psychology, and systems thinking, inviting readers to engage not as passive interpreters, but as active participants in the construction of meaning.
