And In Our Absence
And In Our Absence
Art & Poems by Eric Williamson
This elegant yet haunting 90+ page book seamlessly melds evocative illustrated vignettes with stirring poetic micro-verses to trace the unmapped frontiers of what's faded, dissolved, and departed. Through its atmospheric visuals and svelte verse, And In Our Absence etches intimate cartographies of loss, ephemeral afterglows, and the whispered presence of the exquisitely unmade.
Lush, brooding imagery combines with sparse poetic fragments to conjure the residual murmurs, ghost lit refrains, and delicate breath of dissipated connection. Untethered moments unspool their unsung poetry as vanishing impressions and lingering trails of the intrinsically ephemeral etch their tracings across heart and mind.
Dissolving boundaries between elegy and image, text and reverie, And In Our Absence maps the sublime terrain of deprivation at existence's frontier. Within its seamless interweaving of atmospheric art and verse lies a hauntingly beautiful compendium of all that bloomed, diminished, and faded - an achingly tender, expectantly stirring encounter with what solitude and absence still murmur to the fervently attentive.
