Ouvert Oeuvre: Openings is a collaboration between acclaimed poet, performer, cultural theorist and media artist Adeena Karasick, and designer/author and vis lit pioneer Warren Lehrer. Inscribing what the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas might call “espace vital” (the space we can survive), the two poems that embody this work form an ecstatically wrought exploration of re-entering the world after a pandemic that never seems to end.
