Summary

Shadow Box examines objects from Glasgow's Hunterian Museum - poems caught between the perfection of a single thing and an enquiry into how the object came to be here, what its meanings might be, and who comes to be an observer.

Shadow Box Summary

Shadow Box by Gerrie Fellows

Shadow Box originated with a single piece, 'The Curiosities of Dr Hunter', a poem which gathered together many objects from Glasgow's Hunterian Museum in an investigation into the nature of eighteenth-century collecting; but the museum holds so many objects to catch the eye and imagination - cultural artefacts from across the world, scientific instruments, medical specimens, objects of the natural world - from which so many kinds of poem might be written. Here then are poems caught between the perfection of a single thing and a necessary enquiry into how the object came to be here, what its meanings might be, and who comes to be an observer here.
