Poems by Sarah Lantz will be read from the newly completed artist book 
/Archeologies of Loss/ created by Sarah Horowitz. In /Archeologies of 
Loss/, the persistent conversation between the poems and the etchings 
conveys their shared temporal quality. /Archeologies/ deals with 
collective memories, their loss and disintegration but also their 
rediscovery and unearthing through individual histories— those of Sarah 
Lantz and her poems. Lantz, who passed away suddenly in September 2007 
just after the publication of her first book (/Far Beyond Triage/, Calyx 
Books 2007), explores themes of the passing of time, absence, 
deterioration and loss in her poems. She muses, “How ludicrous we are,/ 
one moment a conjunction/ of trembling, the next/ the light, though 
light/ cannot reside anywhere/ nor the endings be always happy.”

For this artist's book, seven poems were reproduced with permission from 
Calyx Books and her family. Eleanor Wilner wrote the remembrance for 
this collaboration of words and images in memory of Sarah Lantz. Ten 
etchings were drawn, etched and printed by Sarah Horowitz on handmade 
Japanese gampi paper. The Centaur types were cast by Michael & Winifred 
Bixler and printed on Somerset satin wove paper by Art Larson of Horton 
Tank Graphics in Hadley, Massachusetts. Julia Weese-Young boxed and 
bound the book at her home in St. Louis, Missouri.


The space for this event was made available courtesy of R. Michelson 
Galleries. This project was made possible in part by a grant from the 
Regional Arts and Culture Council, Portland Oregon.
