Frissure: Prose Poems and Artworks

Description

Cover; Title page; Copyright page; Preface; Author biography; An introduction by Kathleen Jamie; Frissure; Acknowledgements.;Frissure is an exquisite collection of prose-poems and illustrative work exploring healing, mortality, intimacy, memory and the natural world. It is about the intimate process of looking and seeing as it passes from one person? a cancer patient? looking at herself, from being?examined' by a surgeon, to being looked at by an artist. In each situation a transformation occurs. The gaze of the patient on her own body and its post-operative scarring is objectified by that of the surgeon assessing the success of his work. But then the creative eye of the artist takes over and what was regard. Cover Title page Copyright page Preface Author biography An introduction by Kathleen Jamie Frissure Acknowledgements.
