Angela Lorenz
Conceived as a trivia game, contains a Ditty bag with laser printed, silkscreened, and photo-lithographed cards. The accompanying booklet is pamphlet sewn and inserted in the bag. "Since 2006 I have been trying to make visual the reality that 'Leaves of Grass' is not ONE book of poetry, but many distinct volumes published over an almost 40-year span...For me it is not important whether people play the game of not -- it serves as an access point to Whitman, who took Emerson's suggestions for a new kind of poetry very much to heart, such as the inclusion of lists." -- artist's statement
