Uncontainable Noise
Project Details
9 x 6 x .25 in
The project was for a book cover for Steve Davenport's collection of poerty. The assignment was to visually reflect the author’s ideas in a vital and handsome manner. Using the metaphor of white picket feces, my interpretation of his text was the struggle for and the non-existence of a perfect love. Sometimes a person can feel trapped in a relationship or sentiment and that it is somewhat greener on the other side.
Uncontainable Noise (2006), won Pavement Saw Press’s Transcontinental Poetry Prize. "UNCONTAINABLE NOISE is wildly alive: a collage that is part shoot-out at the poetry corral, part love story, a collection that overmodulates fearlessly into new domains of tone. Steve Davenport has created a new world that is ribald, violent, reverent, and thoroughly word-drunk" - Alice Fulton.
