The slippage between this world and that, between the subsumed and the subsuming, in the hands of the escort at its most effective is confounding. Dante’s Virgil is a thief of experiential ecstasy, his slow descent a toiling to be endured. And I shudder to think of a trip to bountiful on the locomotion of absolutism. I want to writhe in the inert flow of a darkened drainpipe and come out bobbing like a barely sentient lure waiting for further digestion. “The cut worm forgives the plow,” writes Blake, and so I do.
Please join us for an opening celebration August 30, 6-8pm.
