BROADSIDE

This broadside project combined one of Gabriel's poems with the poem by Thomas Hardy that inspired the form. Paired with In the Land of Promise, Castle Garden, painted by Charles Frederick Ulrich in 1884, the broadside details the human experience that can be glossed over by the stars and glamour that tend to populate depictions of disasters.

"The Convergence of the Twain" first appeared in a 1912 program for the Titanic Disaster Fund as was expanded slightly for Hardy's 1914 collection, Satires of Circumstance, Lyrics and Reveries.

​

An earlier version of "A Divergence & Convergence" was published by NonBinary Review in 2022.
