Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An evocative, lyric bricolage of memoir, literature, history, and translation that wrestles with the shape death takes.Who would think to call Ophelia a corpse? She is but a woman emptied of herself.In 1993, when she was eighteen years old, Dani Netherclift witnessed the drowning deaths of her father and brother in an irrigation channel in North East Victoria, Australia. Or, she saw her father and brother disappear beneath an opaque surface and never saw her loved ones again. Netherclift hasn't stopped imagining the shape of this bodily loss. Not viewing the bodies grows into a form of ambiguous loss that makes the world dangerous, making people seem liable to suddenly vanishing.What would it have been like to have seen them, after the fact? To have looked upon their bodies. To picture the emptied vessels of her father and brother is to reach toward a sense of closure, a form of magical thinking in which goodbye is made possible. Vessel pulls together a language of space and ruin, building toward the realization that all bodies become in the end bodies of text, beautifully written palimpsests--elegies--inked on the skins of the dead. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Gilt lettering to front and spine and gilt page block edge. Corners are a little bumped and some edge wear, particularly to the spine. Some light staining.
