The Forest

The Forest the first poetry collection from writer and artist T.C. Anderson is the first part of an exploratory journey through the collective experience of literature and art. Assimilated with a fate-driven poetic method using handwritten phrases on paper slips The Forest is a three-act journey that invites the reader into itself as it explores what it means to be human and how we live and exist. The collection is the inspirational basis of an immersive visual and literary art installation of the same name currently being developed with Houston-based artist Mari Omori; the first iteration of the work named after the books first act The Branches has been exhibited at Houston Community College and Lone Star College-Kingwood in their 2020 Virtual Faculty Art Show.
