The Spirit Cabinet

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The Spirit Cabinet is a collection of poems that imagines the thwarted erotic relationship of Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca, by channeling the voices of their letters to one another. Guided by Gertrude Stein's spirit and the memory of their former lover and classmate, Margarita Manso, this poetic seance uses erasure from translated letters, homophony, and sound play to explore sexuality and the fuzzy lines between eroticism and friendship.
