Abstract

The poem "offcuts from the book bindery" explores imagery related to a bookbinding workshop, blending tactile details of the craft with personal and abstract reflections. It depicts scenes involving Maria and the speaker’s daughter among materials like paper, glue, and guillotines, while evoking motifs such as Japonisme, fractals, and family heirlooms. The poem intertwines sensory experiences with memories and symbolic elements, creating a layered meditation on art, history, and perception. [Extracted from the article]
