How do you trace death? What do you make of the useless objects left behind? Conjuring Cage, Stein, and Francesca Woodman, British poet Sophie Robinson documents the detritus of sudden loss. Layering word and image, object and subject, the said with the unsayable, a is as Caroline Bergvall writes, “[A] work of mourning. Angry, torn, hardly daring to remember”—a textual performance of “love that dares to speak as queer.”
