Description

Bough Down is a profoundly moving memoir that reports from deep inside the maelstrom of grief. Artist and writer Karen Green conjures the inscrutable space of love and loss, clarity and contradiction, sense and madness in this beautifully written lament. With crystalline fragments of text, Green's voice is paradoxically confessional and non-confessional, rendering moments both devastating and luminous. Tiny visual collages punctuate the text, each made from salvaged language and scraps of the material world, evincing the reassembling of life. This work uses music and silence, color and its absence, authority of experience and doubt to fulfill a humane artistic vision, resulting in a lapidary and keenly observed book awash with the honesty of an open heart.
