Landscape and kinetic expression meet in this collection of poetry, dance choreography, and photographs

A cross-genre book of poetry, photography and notes for choreography, A Lily Lilies maps space through language, language through movement, and both space and movement through pictures in sections that move from immense spaces of the American Southwest to a dance stage in Philadelphia to the space of the self.

“Mapping across space/time, cultures and sensibilities A Lily Lilies expresses the interweaving of the poetry of dance and the dance of poetry. Beautiful work!”—Pauline Oliveros

From the Book:

The Lily Lilies

The swallow swallows, the lily lilies.
That’s all there is.

Horses horse and objects of definable shape
define each other.

Living beings, in a manner,
keep living.
