Tract was published by The Well Review in 2023.
Tract, by the poet Siún Carden, is the second in the Well Review Editions series. This pamphlet interrogates the material of paper itself and its capacity for disembodied truth-telling and hearsay. Tract is the second in our Well Review Editions Series by the poet, Siún Carden and handbound by Badly Made Books in Cork. This pamphlet interrogates the material of paper itself and its capacity for disembodied truth-telling and hearsay. Tract forensically unpacks our complicity in coverups to reveal a dazzling, imperfect and irresistible world.
