Poetry. OMBLIGO/INTAGLIO is a meditation on geologic and emotional conditions for permanence--in ice, sand, archives or sound, Catholicism and catheters. The author is vellum and gauze, icemelt and chalk; she vanishes into her material. What is brushed away in the act of excavation? This lyric essay is a poetic archeological sequence of matter and ephemerality and its affects of discipline and devotion, at the intersections of anthropology and poetry.
