"VIBE CHECK" by Candice Wuehle
Candice Wuehle's VIBE CHECK functions like the crystal of a feeling, taking in its chosen subjects – gendered violence, capital, prosody and rabbit saints – and refracting them prismatically, rendering a permeable, ghostly form: "I / Tell all the animals my name. I shake, I burn." 24 pages. Hand-stitched. Vellum cover.
You have only to look at the Medusa straight on to see her. And she’s not
deadly. She’s beautiful and she’s laughing.
—Hélène Cixous
Life is awesome, I confess.
—Lana Del Rey
