Luna - Jane Joritz-Nakagawa
Eric Selland on Jane Joritz-Nakagawa: Hers is a radically open form - a framework through which the data of life, and poetic themes and materials, freely migrate. She does not reject the personal, but she does not privilege it either. It is simply part of the data.
It has been four years since Joritz-Nakagawa's highly acclaimed 2020 collection, Plan B Audio (Isobar, 2020, including photography by Susan Laura Sullivan). In her new book, Luna, the "data of life" include such things as the coronavirus, the wars in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine, cruelty to animals, environmental destruction, and disability, among others. Although the terrain is often dark, there is hope in the form of interconnectivity and empathy: "another's loss / becomes / your own" and for some spirituality found in the natural world.
