THE PRACTICAL SPELLER
1998, 36 Pages, 4 x 7" color laserprinted, 50 copies

Short lists of single words pasted-down, seed pods full with potential regeneration, a woman's hands engaged in endless daily work-all superimposed on a 19th century speller- construct a palimpsest conjuring up personal and collective memories of slavery. This is a fragmented poetry too fragile and painful to be recalled whole. Assisted by a Guggenheim Fellowship ISBN:89822-124-2 Hardbound with paper wrappers NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE |
