Exploring drawing, fate, and the mysterious human body, Boruch embarks on a journey of dark wonder in The Figure Going Imaginary.Marianne Boruch embarks on a journey of dark wonder in The Figure Going Imaginary. A gathering of journal entries, lyrical prose, poetry, and sketches from the authors Life Drawing notebook, this hybrid collection recounts the unnerving and otherworldly experience of studying Gross Human Anatomy and life-drawing at Purdue Universityan experience that also fueled her 2014 collection, Cadaver, Speak. In the studio, its the music of charcoal to paper, a netherworld sound and learning to bring human models alive on paper. In the cadaver lab, its flashing knives and probes and forceps that focus on another kind of beauty, the body as map, a tracing, evidence of a life. Guided by the ancient task of learning to see, this poet explores drawing, fate, and at the fragile center of it all, the mysteries of the human figure.
