A collection of prose-epistolary poetry by Ingrid Keir with artwork by Kelly Ording. The Choreography of Nests touches on themes of loss, survival, perseverance and self-exploration through the contradiction and complexities of modernity. A conversation weaves through a poetic landscape of voices that collide, contradict, echo, spring and recoil. Additionally, a thread of letters run throughout the collection, epistolary prose-poery that serve as a narrative, a prayer, as a direct address at times to the reader. The word “nest” is being redefined by the poet as not only a home undergoing change, but also as a balance of darkness and light, the possibility of what can be and an attempt to uncover the unknown.
