the immeasurable fold: selected poems 2000-2015

the immeasurable fold is an autobiographical poetry collection that explores the poets 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 Though the full-length manuscript remains unpublished in 2005 kurtis included a selection of those poems (along with a few newer ones) in his debut solo exhibition for which he used the same title.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 Long out-of-print those poems additional/unpublished poems from the original manuscript as well as new poems written in the years since-altogether spanning a decade and a half from 2000 through 2015-have been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.
