Ana María Caballero - stem

stem

2023, MP4, 1080 x 1080, 0:14 seconds.

“stem” is the first micro poem from Petal Book, a three-part leider cycle written by Ana María Caballero for Refraction, inspired by Louise Glück’s The Wild Iris.

Taking Glück’s oracular, anthropomorphic voice as a point of entry, Caballero explores our relationship with mortality, with words, and with each other, in a series of pithy, cutting poems written in the language of flowers.

stem

because you cut me

now you have

to water me
