The Wet Collection

Using such models as Joseph Cornell's box constructions, crazy quilts, and specimen displays, Joni Tevis places fragments in relationship to each other in order to puzzle out lost histories, particularly those of women. Navigating the peril and excitement of outward journeys complicated by an inward longing for home, The Wet Collectionfollows Tevis through several adventures that coalesce into a narrative imbued with the light of Tevis's Southern upbringing. Written with a poet's lyricism, a scientist's precision, and a theologian's understanding of the world as it shifts around us, The Wet Collectionis the exciting debut of a distinctive voice.
