The Figure Going Imaginary

Life Drawing, Poetry, The Cadaver Lab; A Year in Pieces

Marianne Boruch

This book is a behind-the-scenes look at each stage of Marianne Boruch’s creative process for her poetry collection Cadaver, Speak (Copper Canyon Press 2014). It is an intimate portrait of the research that informed its writing.
Includes vivid excerpts from the two journals she kept during her time in a cadaver lab and a figure drawing class.
Divided into themes, the book contains a prose introduction; classroom notebook and sketchbook entries; a travel diary; the early stages of poems; and concludes with three interrelated prose poems.
Boruch won the 2013 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award for The Book of Hours (Copper Canyon Press 2011).
Potential audiences: Academics who teach in the fields of English Literature, Art History, Figure Drawing, Anatomy, Medicine, and Science; scholars of interdisciplinary studies; writers and readers who are curious about documentation of the creative process; people who have pledged to donate their bodies to science or are considering this choice.
