A colorful painting by Zachary Cahill titled LiFE witHout CONSANGUiNiTY (2016). The composition features a female figure in white tending to a reclining, nude figure on a pink table marked "USSA" in bold red letters. Behind them, jagged green mountains rise under a turbulent brown-and-yellow sky. The words “LIFE WITHOUT CONSANGUINITY” appear painted along the bottom in rough, hand-lettered blue and yellow text. The image is framed by a vivid red background, with exhibition information in black and bold type below.

A poem written by Maria DiFrancesco about Derrida and diapers and other stuff.
I wrote a poem instead of working on an academic publication this morning. It's sort of about Derrida. Since my poems seem to get rejected by literary magazines, I thought I'd share with my #hispanist, #humanities, and #complit friends. If you cite me, CITE ME. Please!
