Description
Susan Howe's Concordance is a unique collection of artworks that transmit vital signals from various archives. The book features a semi-autobiographical prose-poem that explores the connections between law and poetry, spanning from ancient times to the present day. The collages that form the heart of the book are created from fragments of poetry and marginalia, including excerpts from classic authors such as Milton, Swift, Herbert, Browning, Dickinson, Coleridge, and Yeats. These elements are combined with materials from field guides to birds, rocks, and trees, resulting in a distinctive visual language. The final poem, "Space Permitting," is constructed from Thoreau's notes and drafts sent to friends and family while on a mission to recover the remains of a shipwreck. This piece showcases Howe's commitment to salvaging meaning from disparate sources, creating a powerful and evocative work that explores the telepathic spirit of language and nature.
