Author: Gareth Farmer Publisher: The 87 Press (2022) Kerf features poems about woodworking, craft, labor, autism and, in particular, the unique languages and language practices of each of these non-discreet areas of activity. While all the poems of Kerf overtly hint and covertly glimpse these themes, the last, long poem sequence, "What’s That: Instead of Ego," attempts to write about three things at once: the planning and execution of a non-specific woodwork project; woodworking and craft in general, and the strange process of being diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Kerf also features a useful glossary of woodworking terms. Kerf is for fans of woodworking and poetry alike. Show more
