| Summary: | William Blake is the phosphorescent angel illuminating the leaves of Corless-Smith's Golden Satellite Debris. His cadences and questions rustle through these rhymes both melancholic and playful. Corless-Smith's Orphic muse mixes up the show with walk-ons by the pagan gods. They question their obsolescence as living metaphors of the natural world in images you won't soon forget. Meanwhile, back in civilization, the fires and rising flood waters impassively erase our human past. 'All that we hurt and bear / makes nothing that will last more than an hour.' As for genius, see how Corless-Smith turns apocalyptic topics into poetic pleasures. |
