Within \u003ci\u003eKnot \u003c\/i\u003eare twenty-three lush black and white photographs of a body and cloth performing a provocative ballet, a wrestling match, a tense sequence of appearances and disappearances that immediately take on symbolic weight. When poet Forrest Gander first encountered these images, he asked Jack Shear for more. As Gander recalls, the photographs arrived \"dreamy, violent, mythic, and elemental... I set them up around the room and knew I wanted to write my way into them.\" The result is a profound dialogue between word and image, observation and inspiration, imagination and intellect. \"\u003ci\u003eWhat do you see?\u003c\/i\u003e\" one poem asks. \"A divinity wrung from a black cloud.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eForrest Gander \u003c\/b\u003eis a cross-genre writer and translator and\u003cbr\u003ewinner of the Pulitzer Prize for the poetry book \u003ci\u003eBe With \u003c\/i\u003e(New Directions, 2019).\u003cbr\u003eHe is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, \u003cbr\u003ethe Guggenheim Foundation, and PEN America.
