Description
As nerves animate the territory within and between bodies, a shuttle is thrown from one hand to another. These messages are near and real, firing across spaces felt as geographical distance and visionary kinship. Sarah Riggs’ epistles catch the slant of this instant we pass through, of friendship and readership, trans-historical and oceanic, at once found and ever more luminously at sea.
Poetry.
