Description
Poetry. "A painter and poet, Corless-Smith draws upon the water table of his own gifts to preserve, destroy and create THE ONGOING MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING SELF, again and again. 'Call the beautiful a surge in feeling an atmosphere a reaction a response to the world to our senses but whatever it is it cannot be held fast.' I keep returning to this line as the watermark or imprint of this collection, something that's both a part of the paper it's written on and the means of its dissolution."—Bhanu Kapil
