This video poetry showcase exists at the boundaries of sensation. Some pieces use borders as backdrops, others skim inner and outer landscapes, and all are in limbo between physical and psychoacoustic perception. Politics of the body, belonging, disabilities, and dreams reveal the poetry of what lies just beyond the precipice.

** Co-presented with Interbay Cinema Society and Seattle Asian American Film Festival **
Moving from total silence in the populous cityscape of Boston to a poem read over the emptiness of the Chihuahuan Desert, the structure of this film mirrors its narrated themes. It is a meditation on how our capacity for reflection is always at odds with the time and space we find ourselves in. We are further from the people and feelings we wish to be closer to; more able to articulate our longing for them when we least expect it, and often when it is too late.
