Alterations examines the grief of losing an unborn twin child through a lens of alteration and adaptation, connecting narratives of textiles and texts--from spacesuits and burial garments to Emily Dickinson's poetic fragments and GOODNIGHT MOON--and the unexpected garments rendered from and contained within personal tragedy. The existence of one is a constant reminder of the other.
Using Winrock's own lexicon of variant sentences, Alterations threads together seemingly disparate narrative themes of text and textile into an elliptical and lyric examination of the invisibility of women's labor and maternal grief.
Alterations is part of the Undelivered Lectures series from Transit Books.
