Shadow Box - Gerrie Fellows

Shadow Box Originated With A Single Piece, 'the Curiosities Of Dr Hunter', A Poem Which Gathered Together Many Objects From Glasgow's Hunterian Museum In An Investigation Into The Nature Of Eighteenth-century Collecting; But The Museum Holds So Many Objects To Catch The Eye And Imagination - Cultural Artefacts From Across The World, Scientific Instruments, Medical Specimens, Objects Of The Natural World - From Which So Many Kinds Of Poem Might Be Written. Here Then Are Poems Caught Between The Perfection Of A Single Thing And A Necessary Enquiry Into How The Object Came To Be Here, What Its Meanings Might Be, And Who Comes To Be An Observer Here.
