Description
Chalk Song is an extraordinary collaboration between three poets, Gale Batchelder, Susan Berger-Jones, and Judson Evans. Inspired by Werner Herzog's documentary film Cave of Forgotten Dreams, they worked together to create a unique collection of poems that weave together sonic reverberations, time travel, and Frank O'Hara's understanding of movies. The result is a book full of gorgeous music, taking readers on a journey through the "deep and fantastic crevices" of the human voice. The poems breach the membrane of the cave wall to explore the otherness of the human voice at the source of our linguistic imagination, from its first expression to the media of our post-modern world. With its innovative approach to poetry, Chalk Song invites readers to immerse themselves in a world of sound and meaning, where "the jars are on fire" and "you are the opposite of Orpheus".
