Splice

<p>Winner of the 2024 Louise Bogan Award Anthony Borruso's <em>Splice </em>melds contemporary pop culture with enduring questions. This dynamic sometimes darkly humorous montage of identity chronic illness and artistic homage examines the concept of selfhood. Navigating a disorienting experience of a chronic illness where thoughts get stopped up / like an autumn gutter the speaker shape-shifts into a multitude of voices that reconcile and congeal a fragmented existence. <em>Splice </em>ultimately explores our constant cycle of reinvention and imitation an engine that both holds us back and moves us forward.</p>
