Amy Cutler from her poetic book Nostalgia Forest (Oystercatcher Press, 2013)
Amy's book is a collection of shorts texts, just a thought per page. Each thought is illustarted by the drawing of a three, diagrams from dendrochronology (tree-rings readings). Of course, the rings are the guides of the time, counting the years of the past, while the language desperately tries to describe the human condition, which is only available by memory, by remembering what happened and remembering what we forgot. With a one sentence thoughts Amy guides us through the intimate connections between words, memory, and technology. Nature - shown through the drawing, those human's efforts to describe it - stays here as foreign and unavailable as ever.
All texts are intertexual games from Paul Ricoeur's Memory, History, Forgetting.
