Poetry. What drives the collector? Is the archive a site of order, the convergence of past narratives and present desires, the chaotic reflection of passions spilling over categories? Is every lover an archive waiting to come undone? Every archive a place where the dust of bodies accumulates? One file in a fonds of misplaced manuscripts, FOND is haunted by an author's compulsion to repeat and the archive's inevitable limits. A finding aid guides the reader through a field of drafts, grids and marginalia, but can it account for this conflicting narrative of desire and its inevitable unraveling? A book-length disentanglement of one archive of emotion, FOND dwells in the eerily familiar, exposing the fragility of our most rigid constraints. Kate Eichhorn's poetry and creative prose have appeared in journals such as Matrix, How 2, Bird Dog and CV2. She is also the co-editor of Innovative Canadian Women's Poetry and Poetics (forthcoming from Coach House Books).
