Description Aphasia is a failure of language. It's an incredibly variable condition, associated with organic brain disorders and trauma, with manifestations that reveal much about language and what it means to be human. Inspired in part by my father's experience of Aphasia, this collection explores the possibility space created by the absence of language as we know it. It includes five short prose pieces and two brief works that I think of as poems, all of which take place in the American West. These were gathered into an artist book that was displayed as part of the Booking A Brouhaha exhibit at J. Willard Marriott Library in the summer of 2015. Photos of the book are provided at the end of this document.
