Chax Press announces a new book:
CHANTRY, by Elizabeth Treadwell
published in 2004, and available for the first time at this event.
Chantry is song. Chantry is song that exceeds song structure in all dimensions to become invocation and enchantment. From “the vessel without a cover” to “late silhouette in / blue” it refuses to be contained, as a book wants to live outside its covers.
(from CHANTRY)
distomap for the coded mountains, pale frontier,
or
the devotions
for my sisters, Margaret & Carol
“This faith was expressed using symbols of shaped metal, embroidered cloth, carved wood, and painted canvas.”
—curator, San Xavier Mission, Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A.
in a well-sought dream remember think of something plain like Grammy’s tears; think of something plain like the color and curvature of gingerale nightgown & bend & kink of patio, how the 3rd vowel of her name was scratched in.
