This a long-term collaboration between artist Jody Servon and poet Lorene Delany-Ullman. Color photographs of belongings kept after a loved one’s death are paired with prose poems distilled from interviews, honoring the emotional afterlife of ordinary things. Each participant lends an object and shares its story, expanding authorship beyond artist and poet to the community itself. Word and image together form a lyrical archive of grief, memory, and enduring love.
