the astrolabe triangulates….
Description: “Rotations of the Astrolabe” presents a triolet whose lines are perfect anagrams of each other, complemented by concrete poetry made from a diagram abstracted from Compositio et operatio astrolabii (a twelfth-century text on the construction and operation of astrolabes).
