sub rosa: The Book of Metaphysics is a three-part interrogation of love, gender, ritual and the body. It heralds a new kind of poetic thinking, one that seeks to articulate and enact a mode of resistance to the obstinacy of present conditions, by focusing on embodiment, tenderness and optimism. It wants to break new paths and contribute to a collective imagining of a different future. It is a record of and a practice towards healing.
