- Abstract
- en_US Here is a 50-page, 6" x 6¾" piece of paperbound ephemera matching, on each pair of pages, perhaps six to eight lines of a prose poem with a black and white illustration. The summary on the front end-paper suggests that this is a story of "Twin" becoming a woman. "Certain bloomings (hatchings?) can be too prompt." The turning point in this story of mirror and hopscotch may have to do with being seen and letting oneself be seen. This was the first item I found after extensive searching in one of Brussel's best known galleries. I had finally found the gallery after missing it my first two times in the neighborhood. The very next day a friend in the USA sent me a picture of that very gallery that she had found on Ebay, with no knowledge of course that I had just been there. My, what things fall into this collection! Perhaps most typical and revealing of the visual style is the mirror image about two-thirds of the way through the work, facing "Elle l'avait encore appellée, cette nuit-la." Half of this same illustration appears on the cover.
