Spelles, from We, Beasts, The Poetic Performance Lab, Calgary Public Library, Calgary, February 5, 2011

Spelles is inspired by a medieval French manuscript, Les Évangiles des Quenouilles, and its medieval English translation, The Gospelles of Dystaues. Under an anonymous author, this manuscript is supposed to mark the first instance in western writing, when stories, which had previously been transmitted orally by six female voices, were inscribed on parchment. Spelles attempts to gloss and dislocate inscription back into orality.
