Summary

Garments Against Women: A Lyric Exploration of Survival and Form

Around that time my daughter and I had this exchange: “Anne, imagine if the world had nothing in it.”

“Do you mean nothing at all - just darkness - or a world without objects?”

“I mean a world without things - no houses, chairs, or cars. A world with only people and trees and dirt.”

“What do you think would happen?”

“People would make things. We would make things with trees and dirt.”
