Petal Book

Description

“bud” is the second micro poem from Petal Book, a three-part lieder cycle inspired by Louise Glück’s The Wild Iris. Taking Glück’s oracular, anthropomorphic voice as a point of entry, Ana María Caballero explores our relationship with mortality, with words, and with each other, in this series of pithy, cutting poems written in the language of flowers. “stem,” the first poem, was released and offered to Refraction Festival's REFRACT PASS holders. "bud" debuted during Proof of People in New York on April 12/13, 2023. “bouquet,” the third poem, will be offered to collectors via a future Refraction event. Holders of all three poems will receive a fourth work as a gift. * stem because you cut me now you have to water me * bud like every spoken word I, too, wager everything on the ignition of dirt and then— spring * bouquet my limbs bound as offering by string, or your hand flesh-colored blossoms upon the marbled slab of time *
