about

Poetics of Pain is a journal of pain and relief in two acts.

Act 1: Relief

'Relief' is the quiet music made during an extended period of chronic pain and compliments the sister publication of the same name (heavycloud.bandcamp.com/merch/poetics-of-pain-3-x-pamphlets-2-cdrs).

(Entr'acte) Entangled branches whispering

A recital of a nature poem, which is alternatively told via text fragments and artworks of tree branches and woodland in the sister publication of the same name.

Act 2: Forget-me-nots

With its sources equally rooted in the healing process, it complements the sister publication of the same name which explores fragmented internal and external landscapes within original artworks.
