I’ve been collaborating with photographer Stephen Petegorsky on a set of paired poems and photos, titled Clearstories. An excerpt from the project has now been published as an online chapbook at Terrain.org:
Clearstories
The project explores animal specimens that have been cleared and stained, a process in which they are treated with an enzyme to turn soft tissues transparent, then stained to make bones and cartilage stand out for studies of anatomy and morphology.
Two photo/poem pairs were also featured in Amherst Magazine.
