The box set Poetic Fragments from the Irritating Archive is an object-based collection of poetry that imagines and navigates through a fictional archive of irritating materials. These take the form of prose poetry, visual art, and both found and made objects that document the archive’s history, visitor experience and the archivist’s notes. Each box set includes a signed tag by the author.
