Experimental visual and prose poems that reimagine Greco-Roman mythology through a feminist lens.

The poems in Whispering Gallery explore the tensions between analog and digital poetics, language, and materiality. Each poem, first typed on a typewriter and then digitally manipulated, is named for a female or feminine figure (wives, daughters, monsters, mothers, muses) stalled, subdued, or caught in moments of suspension rather than heroic resolution. Paired prose poems translate these mythic figures into contemporary, intimate registers, tracing the quiet violences, care, and survival that shape lived experience.

Drawing on personal and domestic ephemera (thread, spice, old print artifacts), the collection explores repetition, distortion, and persistence as formal and thematic tools. Equal parts intimate diary, scholarly engagement, and playful experimentation, Whispering Gallery offers myth as a site of shared vulnerability, radical care, and connection.
