Writes her publisher: Enter vulvic space through Pyrenean caves & sacred stones, feel the wind & smell the shells of the Verrazano Narows. Bi-Valve is a tri-lingual sonic unfolding of Nicole Peyrafitte\u2019s paintings, poems and vocals. Accompanied by jazz virtuoso Michael Bisio, Peyrafitte enters a geo-psychic knowledge that pulses with materiality. \u201c\u2026I am a resistant \/ multilingual migratory bi-valve\/ with eyes\u00a0\u00a0 lens\u00a0\u00a0 retina.\u201d Look and listen as she offers a corporeal map of receptivity: \u201cit is simple \/ elemental\u00a0\u00a0 secular & s\u00e9culaire \/ \u00a0I watch the tide\u00a0\u00a0 the sunset.\u201d\u00a0 She mirrors, for us, the matrix that is us. \u201cJe ne per\u00e7ois pas toujours les formes \/ mais je suis une coquille chantante \/ je d\u00e9tecte la lumi\u00e8re\u00a0\u00a0 le mouvement \/ & \/ je vulvapplaudis la lumi\u00e8re.\u201d\u00a0 Then, she feeds us (recipe included).<\/p>\n

“I’ve read and I’ve seen (first look) and I find the book so well done and well conceived, with an attitude, a stance, emanating from it. It is a gorgeously designed work and the art is superb and astounding. In terms of the text, of course I love this back-and-forth of translation, of meaning, of meaning rebellious toward its own mirror. The whole question of language speaks to me loudly. This said, I do at times feel slightly estranged from this world of strong matter, if I may put it that way.” \u2014 Nicole Brossard<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
