Description
Title and publication information from 23 Sandy Gallery booksellers' website. Limited edition of 100 copies, signed and numbered by the artist. "Karen Finneyfrock's What Lot's Wife Would Have Said (If She Wasn't a Pillar of Salt) is a moving poem which draws parallels between Lot's flight from Sodom and Gomorrah, the on-going AIDs crisis and the notion of gay marriage. Its consumer-driven presentation is based on the premise that a canister of salt is more beloved to Americans than any god damned poet"--23 Sandy Gallery Booksellers' website, viewed on March 22, 2017.
