by luke kurtis
the immeasurable fold by luke kurtis is an autobiographical poetry collection that explores the poet’s trajectory from rural southern farm boy to life as a Greenwich Village artist. The poems recount memories of family, hurt, love, loss, joy, sadness, longing, and forgiveness all through the lens of a spiritual reckoning.
Not a typical selected-works collection, nor exclusively new work, the immeasurable fold is based upon a manuscript of poems written in early 2000 titled lazy dreams and other memories. Though the full-length manuscript remains unpublished, in 2005 kurtis included a selection of those poems (along with a few newer ones) in his debut solo exhibition, for which he used the same title. bd-studios.com published a small, limited edition exhibition catalog of those poems and photographs. Long out-of-print, those poems, additional/unpublished poems from the original manuscript, as well as new poems written in the years since—altogether spanning a decade and a half, from 2000 through 2015—have been compiled in this new collection.

“The Girl Who Wasn’t and Is tells Walker’s story of coming out mid-life … and captures the intense reckoning many people face during this process. But the powerful and honest collection also explores the intersections with others in the trans community, calls for racial justice, and finds allyship in unexpected places.” —Jordan Snowden
