Sardines by Vasiliki Albedo & Lucy Holme
Dialect Press
Some creative partnerships begin with a plan; others begin with a spark. Sardines, the new collaborative pamphlet from poets Vasiliki Albedo and Lucy Holme, began with something stranger and more serendipitous: a misremembered Frank O'Hara poem. From that 'mistake' " part omen, part invitation " a year-long conversation unfolded. Themes surfaced and resurfaced " girlhood, grief, appetite, the sea as both sanctuary and warning " not by design but by the natural drift of two poetic minds in dialogue. The pamphlet's title, Sardines, holds this tension beautifully: the ordinary made luminous, the playful shading into the political, the small thing that opens out into a whole world.
