[One and One] (What’s Carved) Meets the Eye
The voices of the women institutionalized in the Salpetriere Asylum in 19th century Paris seep out of Victoria Mas’s The Mad Women’s Ball. These women, not content to obediently play the roles of wives and daughters assigned to them in a male-dominated world, were survivors of sexual violence at the hands of men or else dragged away for resisting authority and violence. People whose bodies are completely bound as they yearn for freedom, people stripped of the right to express their thoughts and desires—and women especially—have spoken in monologues, traded whispers, and amplified screams across past and present, in defiance of surveillance and punishment. Poetry is one of the places where sounds resonate, from the tiniest whispers to the loudest choruses, and poet Lee Jenny is one of the people who brings together these whispering, singing voices. • Language: Korean, French
