So proud of this new chapter in my life. My first artists’ book, and first publication for Janus Point Press: The Funeral Singer, published September 13th 2022.
Limited edition artists’ book with foil stamping, custom silk book sleeve and curated arts and reading list, lightly scented in frankincense and myrrh.
A story with an Einstein-Rosen Bridge between 1922 Anatolia and 1944 Greece.
Haunting memories and buried desire are resurrected by the funeral song as war binds the lives of a widow, refugee, and partisan soldier fighting for the liberation of Greece.
The Funeral Singer is an artisan clutch-sized version of a longer work, the novel Memories of Myrrh. It packs many of its layers to deliver a rich reading experience. You may feel like you read a novel, that you traveled through time-anchored wormholes. Read more and purchase it from Janus Point Press.
The Funeral Singer is a story not just of real tragic historical events and the weight carried by survivors, but also the personal narratives that still play out as you are a pawn living through history. It is a story of sexual desire, resistance, female liberation… It’s a story of a bird.
