“Jan Padios’s deeply moving new work spatializes the complex architectures of human connection, gifting us with a haunting cartography of memory and movement across 36 dwellings. Prepare to be enraptured by her refreshingly experimental eye that weaves intimate schematics and ghosted images together with lucid lines carefully carved from miles and years of diasporic distance. Another word for dwell is pause. Padios offers us a moment to catch our breath among these achingly resonant geographies in this stirring chapbook of genre-defying innovation.”
