Eleni Sikelianos

Eleni Sikelianos will be working on a hybrid book (prose, image, poetry) meditating on inheritance, both familial and planetary. We come from lineages immediate and vast. Genetics are one piece of the chorus, and when these pieces appear and voice themselves, that is part of the human performance. Ancestral histories run alongside the ways our lives are intertwined, even genetically, with the plants and animals around us, and with the shape of the landscape. What poetic forms could reflect evolutionary history?
