Left Melancholy in Solitude Atlas
A part of my "anti-memoir," Left Melancholy, appears in Schloss Atlas, a collection documenting the writings and projects by fellows of Akademie Schloss Solitude.
Review of Stephanie Gray's Shorthand and Electric Language Stars
in PPNL:
"When I come to the end of many of these poems, I find myself starting at the beginning, puzzling at how Gray got from point A to point B. The poems don’t move syllogistically, but through the improvisation of a psychological process. Sometimes they are diaristic, recounting events from the day. Sometimes they are more structural, even procedural. Many of them are about knowing (and what one doesn’t or can’t know, for lack of information)."
