“'As if a poem is what’s at the bottom of a bunch of bees….' Fauth reminds us that etymology makes legacy, and sometimes, context is lost, leaving us with myth.”
From review of @ttupress, A Dream in Which I Am Playing with Bees.

“They still call you
your deadname. In their accent, we barely recognize it—like Lorn, e.g.,
this is forlorn.”
Excerpt from “Upon Arriving at Great-Aunt Dorothy's Funeral” by RK Fauth from the Winter 2023 collection. Available December.

i have lots of mixed feelings about _The Road_ but near the end of the book mccarthy writes how the dad increasingly has trouble talking with his son bc the referents for words have disappeared and that's one of the most gutting things I've ever read. this poem does that too.
So the world turned
its one good eye
to watch the bees
take most of metaphor
with them.

The display was curated in collaboration with the artist and creator of UNPRECEDENTED, RK Fauth, and Dr. Maggie Fritz-Morkin (@mfritzmorkin) in the Dept of Romance Studies (@RomanceUnc) whose students contributed blackout poems to Fauth's project in the fall of 2021.
When RK Fauth, Founder of The UNPRECEDENTED Project, invited me to participate in the worldwide erasure challenge, I was beyond thrilled! :)
I worked on p. 455 of 'The Decameron.'
