Meditations, Volume 3: Words as Sculpture, Their Shapes as Sound
In Words as Sculpture, Their Shapes as Sound, the protagonist performed by soprano Emili Losier, compares the styles of Sylvia Plath, whose use of onomatopoeia seemingly creates its own soundtrack on the page, to that of Clarice Lispector, whose rich descriptions of object, place, and material, seem to burst off the page as actual physical structures. Citing both of these methodologies as key to her own artistic production, she laments the lack of language to describe text that seems to have material dimension.
