Description
Common Meter Press presents Beauty Exasperated, collage poems inspired by the 19th century literary movement and George Eliot's infamous novel, Middlemarch, from Seattle poet and artist Cass Garison.
In Beauty Exasperated, we follow a drama of two lovers, feelings of longing and loneliness, and a glimpse into intense love that blooms, fades, and evolves through the seasons.
The story is told through erasure poems, a poetic form that removes words from an existing text to reveal something new - and, perhaps, unexpected. The story can be understood, enjoyed, and deeply felt, regardless of one's relationship with the original work. Part homage and part excavation, Beauty Exasperated is, above all else, heartbreaking.
