#many of the pieces are written in fractured lines which perfectly show in a visual way the feelings

#in other words: #thinking about dress rehearsals by Madison Godfrey #i want to say it’s really post modernist #in how it explores the self and how it conveys that with more than just prose #brilliant book if you ever feel like some poetry and prose that will rip you apart #i feel like rus and rowan would both enjoy it #many of the pieces are written in fractured lines which perfectly show in a visual way the feelings #photography teacher had us do an essay on wether art is defined by the artist or the audience #and i feel like godfrey does a really good job of telling you what they feel and mean by it #and then letting you decide what it makes you feel and means to you #so you get two definitions #the artists and the audiences #and each audience would have a different definition of it cause the stories it tell won’t apply to anyone #because of the theme of performing womanhood and sense of self #so some people will be looking through a window while reading it #while others are inside the room #which them makes me think of a room of one’s own essay/speech #which i need to reread #sorry for the essay in the notes #it’s cause i’m not confident about my own words to write and actual essay #en thinks thoughts #also this was supposed to be about how the work is typeset but i got so sidetracked #this is why my literature essays were never an a grade #i get too sidetracked
