This year, a dual chapbook, landguage/mirror me, is forthcoming with Bunny Presse, from Fonograf Editions.“These visual poems contain echo and wave, reciprocal and reaching towards contact. Luis Camnitzer’s Two Parallel Lines serve as location and footnote, inviting the reader into a generous space of incantation. One rotates the direction of the book, like one turns one’s head to listen. Embodied geometries of fold and encounter. The shared space of breath. A restless vocabulary, the doing of writing. Drawn and written lines hold absence in elastic fullness, words to come, the possibility of arrival — utterances that sound out, in, and through.”
