Zero Point Dream Poems Chapbook by Kendra Sullivan and DoubleCross Press
Dos-à-dos chapbook inspired by a feminist reading group.
"'This long song of the wandering mind in sleep offers a new but ancient view into the unconscious.
Interesting how it took a chorus to locate it.'
-Fanny Howe
'What’s the difference between the images conjured by my body/mind while reading and those conjured by my body/mind while dreaming? What’s the bridge between the two? What’s the difference between remembering a book and being changed by a book I can’t remember reading? Zero Point Dream Poems lends form to fevered dreams--resurrected from forgetfulness--about books--read during the pandemic--by feminist dreamworkers Nawal El Saadawi, Octavia E. Butler, Leslie Feinberg, Fanny Howe, Gayl Jones, and Leslie Marmon Silko. Their books opened into a series of dreams into this book of serial poems, a circular work that begins and ends elsewhere, beyond itself.'
