Divided into three parts and featuring illustrations done by the artist, Electric Bathtub Psalms is a mixture of ideas regarding love, loss and myriad forms of diaspora. The Electric Bathtub referenced comes to signify the body, the world under the influence of technology and the integration of intimacy with machines and systems.
Mariette gives an overview of the book:
Excerpt from Electric Bathtub
they are paper airplanes
pink skin and pink dress
mother and daughter
winter river reflecting
mute moments of understanding
between blood that is not water
and outstretched arms skating
this sacred wind
outside the window there is life
is this not life as well
stuck to keys that tap into the song
spatial
the flakes fall
how much of it is snow
we don't know
fall to the floor
what is it for
unconscious
like a newborn
holding history
inside
outside
unknown
