RAM

RAM is a narrative poetry project that experiments with the erasure form and translation. At its core, RAM is a feminist erasure of Vergil's Aeneid, a voice found hiding underneath the surface of Vergil's epic, waiting to tell a story of its own. These poems tell the story of Ram and her lover, Seahorse, and of Ram's journey to understand herself, her language, her gender, her sexuality, and her trauma. Ram is at times a character and at times not. She is at once a woman and gender fluid. She is all binaries and all voices, but yet, isn't. Ram is Juno’s anger and Poseidon’s wave, Dido’s fire and Apollo’s arrow… but isn’t. Ram is something old and something new. In the end, her story will give and take from you.
