ANTHOLOGY expanded reader - 2022
This project is an expanded version of an anthology. Each text stems from seeking or clay and is related to my central poem - The Clod and the Pebble by William Blake. All of my collected writings are in the second section of the book below; they were originally printed onto clay tablets however, the ink burned away in the pit fire. This project is about the transient nature of language and how seeking perfection is against the will of the earth.
