Speaking through sediment

Description

"Speaking Through Sediment began as an adventure in a speculative style of leaping that Cindy Rinne and Cooper simultaneously experimented with. Both poets are seekers, and as such were engaged in a style of play where they leapt without being sure of where they were going to land. The collaborative process was a matter of sharing work as it was generated and then feverishly writing the next piece-- each writer engaged in this process simultaneously. The collective of poems generated was then curated under the weaver's-eye of Rinne, who found continuity and meaning in the poetic landscape. The field was very wide, and ever dangerous: a polyphonic animal of a poetry book. Rinne and Cooper purposefully do not delineate where one voice leaves off and another begins to further underscore the sense of collaboration through dialog rather than the individuation of intellectual property and agonism."--
