TUAZON, Oscar (ed.)
Something in the Water

Something in the Water marks a new chapter in Oscar Tuazon’s ongoing Water School project. Bringing together the work of 15 artists who engage with water as a living material and an artistic medium, the publication explores the elemental faculty of water through a poetic lens. The language of water is poetry, and Tuazon uses this publication as an occasion to present reflections on water from poets throughout the twentieth century as well as new poems from Eileen Myles, Lisa Robertson, and Cedar Sigo.
