SURPRISE! Happy solstice. I’m releasing a 24-page prose poem collection today, for free. I’ve been working on it for a while and I’m pretty excited about it.
In 2024 I started writing short pieces of prose poetry about destroying of works of art. I started with paintings, then moved on to perfume, performance art, novels, music, even ideas. The goal of the poems was always the same: to depict the piece’s destruction, its erasure, or its unmaking.
Originally, these pieces were intended as background exercises for a larger fiction project— but recently I revisited them and was pleasantly surprised at how well they stood on their own. So I collected some of the best into this, Elegy Ekphrasis, my work of mourning for dead works of art, my studies for destruction.
It certainly goes some places. As a gift to my friends and anyone who likes art and poetry, I have made this piece available for free both as a PDF and a print-and-fold zine template.
If you like this piece, please tell me and please share it around! It would mean the absolute world to me.
