***Limited edition of 100***

This book-length poem by poet Becca J.R. Lachman is part of a threefold art book project that came into existence by sending emails, art, photographs, texts, stanzas, and snail-mail letters between Athens (OH), San Francisco, Johnson (VT), and New Orleans between 2015-20. Fully completed in 2022 after a halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the final artifact includes a poetry book, 14 full-color multi-media reproductions with an accompanying booklet, and a process book documenting our 7-year collaborative creation process. 

Collectively, the project navigates the topic of “home-building”-- be it physical, reproductive, metaphorical, or structural–and plays with time and space in an attempt to enter our experiences related to the evolving (female) body as home. 

Putting your faith in human fertility of all kinds can feel strange and downright ridiculous in today’s world. It’s our hope that giving voice to our personal reckonings can help our audience navigate their own home-building journeys and personal narratives with more confidence, courage, and the belief that life holds homes worth working towards.
