about

In Lewd Wilderness, Dehlia Ackley explores poetic expression in three parts, her original poetry, erasure poetry, and film photography. Her poems in Bloomt from Shadows are glances of observations that use play and mystery to lure the reader into activating their own experiences and imagination for interpretation. The words create a place for wandering in the mind, just like a wilderness does for the body. Grate is an erasure of Jean Cocteau’s Grace Notes, which explores a modality of writing without the act of writing, revealing a text within a text, to create a new mystery out of an existing mystery. The process of erasure becomes like sculpture, hewing away at a block of text until a latent subject emerges, like a swan out of a slab of marble. In the last section of the book, Photographs, Dehlia captures through happenstance the anomalies of nature and experience. The images notate textures or monolithic shapes, like visual signposts on a path into the unknown.
