Book I of The Morphology Series
In Epithalamion: A Morphology of Union, J. A. Gucci presents a formal sequence of poems composed according to Absolute Composition-a structural method in which poetic meaning emerges through physical arrangement and system behavior rather than symbolic substitution.
Following the formal trajectory announced by its titles-ranging from The Meeting and The Vow to The Joining, The Threshold, and The Epithalamion-the sequence explores union not as a conventional narrative or emotional comparison, but as a series of ritual structures instantiated through lawful physical systems. Each poem is strictly governed by a single, scientifically verifiable physical, mechanical, optical, material, or thermodynamic phenomenon (such as friction welding, capillary action, interference fits, and mechanical couplings).
Rather than using science as an explanatory or metaphorical tool, Epithalamion establishes a strict morphological correspondence: the threshold conditions, sequence of relations, and structural transformations observed in physical phenomena mirror the exact architectural sequence of human ceremony. Highly compressed and rigorously bounded, Epithalamion invites both continuous reading as a modern ritual text and analytical reading as a series of formal demonstrations in structural poetry.
