Description
Comprised of 26 poems made over a five-year period, In the Frail is a dialogue, an invitation, a collection of embodied verse. Crafted from the 1944 Persons and Places by philosopher George Santayana, these poems are composed not solely in a mind, but channeled through a body: trimming and gluing selected syllables and phrases into new combinations-a tactile construction which requires care, dexterity, and an appreciation of imperfect shapes. The inherently visual poems speak to the value of salvage, an ethos which is echoed in Erinn Kathryn's visual arts practice, which frequently includes reclaimed materials. Welcoming to experienced and newer readers of poetry alike, In the Frail is personal and communal, reminding us we are all channels, making and remaking meaning, always.
