Poetry. Drama. Film Studies. "THE MESHES, by quadruple hyphenate Brittany Billmeyer-Finn (poet-playwright- community organizer-arts educator) is a creative four-part record of the author's imaginative engagement with the films and aesthetics of the late Maya Deren (1917-1961). Deren was an experimental filmmaker whose artistic practice was influenced greatly by the Imagist poets' belief that the best free verse conjures up for the reader concrete visual impressions and emotional experiences. This is exactly what Billmeyer-Finn's work achieves: across the poetry, prose, polyphonic performance, and polyvocal bibliography contained herein, Billmeyer-Finn's use of language is immediately evocative of the compelling images and salient issues inspired by Deren's oneiric, choreographic, and nonfiction films."—Renata Jackson
