Book excerpt: 'Illusory Borders' is grounded in a process that incorporates fragments, lists, and reflections on 'woman's work.' It is inspired, in part, by lists I discovered in a woman's day-planner from the 1940's (a DailyAide Silent Secretary), as well as an erasure I created a few years ago from Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons¿-¿in particular, the section titled "Objects." My erasure became a list poem which I explored/enacted in different ways over time, eventually creating a series of prose poems/a long poem stitched together by fragments that I'd cut and collaged from my original list. This series/long poem seeks to expand liminal spaces, marginality, the unsaid, the footnotes of dailyness and everyday objects, as well as my own necessity to work in a series: continually ending and beginning.
