Micah Carpentier's Song of Songs

By Dahlia Danton and Micah Carpentier

Book Overview

In this strange, short book, the writer evades, ornaments, defiles, entertains, and ultimately rejects the possibility of what some solemnly refer to as "cultural appropriation." Using the original Hebrew text of the biblical poem The Song of Songs and placing it in the hands of a Cuban artist of Latvian origin, a chorus of unlikely contradictions defy any reader's claim to offense. In unexpected ways, the book playfully mocks all calls for creative sectarianism and instead challenges us to venerate the sovereign irreverence of invention.
