Allow me to dream a body with you by Sabina Holzer, 2024.
Writing from the body, from nervous impulses, sensations and gestures, but also from our being carried by matter, language and history, Sabina Holzer explores how writing may become ‘a way of singing and slip over into liminal, latent meanings and potentials.’ How to stay close to the body of the word? To perceive some of the multiplicity of our reality and ways of being, she incorporates somatic practices, ecology and new materialism, fables and science fiction in her writing. Allow me to dream a body with you gathers poetic essays and stories that delve into the fine grain of our corporeal entanglements and embeddedness. ‘Would an encounter between you and me be possible without all this?’
A collection of 5 poetic essays of the human body interrelated with the more-than-human environment. From collaborations with Thomas Ballhausen, Katrin Hornek, Alix Eynaudi, Elena Peytchinska, Bruni Sand. Invited & edited by Jeroen Peeters, published by wonderful www.varamopress.com aka Jeroen Peeters & Mette Edvardsen, translated by Lisa Rosenblatt.
