About the Item
Poet Robert Gibbons and visual artist Amy Williams team up to collaborate on a new series of erasure poems and artworks inspired by the words of writer Zora Neale Hurston. "Knap Sack" is one such artwork, and part of a new book entitled "Some Little Words" – which collects 20 collaborative artworks by these two artists. "Knap Sack" measures 12x9", and features pencil, ink and gouache on paper.
Robert Gibbons hand writes each poem on a 12 x 9” page. In the style of erasure poetry, the words are taken directly from Zora Neale Hurston's writings in "Go Gator" and "Muddy the Water". New poems are thus created from the 21st century voice of an African-American male exploring the folklore of his home state of Florida, and dealings with race relations in a modern world. Amy Williams takes Robert Gibbons' poems and embellishes them with gouache, ink, pencil, and collage to support the visual metaphor of the poem. "Some Little Words", as a book and a collaborative project, seeks to broaden our understanding of word-smithing, visual conception and performance art.
Amy Williams is a photographer and mixed media artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1977, Williams received her BFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. Trained in traditional photographic methods, Williams continues to embrace these techniques despite the digital revolution of the photography world. Her photographs have been featured in the French art magazine Frog, as well as the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. Williams has exhibited extensively at 440 Gallery in Brooklyn and has been included in two group shows at Galerie de Multiples in Paris, France. Her work is in corporate and private collections in New York, Washington D.C., Paris France, and Dijon France.
Robert Gibbons, a native Floridian, came to New York City in 2007 in search of his muse Langston Hughes and found a vibrant contemporary poetry community at the Cornelia Street Cafe, the Green Pavilion, Nomad's Choir, Brownstone Poets, Hydrogen Juke Box, Saturn Series, and Phoenix among other venues. His first book, Close to the Tree, was published by the New York-based Three Rooms Press in 2012.
Robert currently works as a Literature Professor at the City College of New York. He is a Cave Canem Fellow (2019-2021) and has received residencies from the Norman Mailer Foundation (2017) and the DISQUIET International Literary Program (2018). In 2018 he completed his MFA at City College.
Robert has been published in over thirty literary magazines and in several notable anthologies. Recent publication credits include Expound, Promethean, Turtle Island Quarterly, Killer Whale, and Suisun Valley Review, and the forthcoming Bronx Memoir Project: Vol. 2 published by the Bronx Council of the Arts.
