Midnight Elegies

by Ian Colbert, Maile Colbert, Steve Liu (Photographer)

A collaborative time-piece, part poetry part poetic image, poised in the Arctic but dislocating in place and in history; a meditation on nostalgia, sickness and life, on the nostalgia inherent in the lyric tradition, darkened and obscured and obscuring cultural and ecological loss; of voices, personal and elemental, narratives imposing and superimposed, conflicting; and the wild, clear light of the Midnight sun, imperial beyond a militant age, the Arctic midnight whose beautiful virtue is mourning turning into morning.
