Day was seated and ready,
to seek attention,
to protect herself with virtue most beautiful,
her reason sending some to wonder.
I recently participated in a collaborative art project by Unprecedented. In their own words, ‘Unprecedented is a public poetry project that circulates pages of The Decameron between small groups of people, one year after the COVID-19 crisis was first declared. We reflect on the solitude, urgency, travesty, and strange beauty that is now nearing becoming a thing of the past.
Each person receives a page in the mail and blacks out part of Boccaccio’s text. What’s left on the page reveals a poem.’
If you’d like to browse the returned pages or sign up to join the project, just head on over to the Unprecedented website.
