Set against the backdrop of the fallen empire of Rome, \u003ci\u003eDaywork\u003c\/i\u003e takes its title from the giornata—the name in fresco painting for the section of wet plaster that can be painted in a single day, where each “day” is marked by the hidden seams in a finished painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"Default\"\u003eIn a voice that is as poised as it is unmistakably urgent, Fisher aims to uncover what adheres against the fabric of history, and what becomes effaced over time. Her search leads her to discover signs of ruin of a different kind, and her poems begin to coalesce around a single perilous realization: that time is not merely an agent of erasure. Time is also a tether, rendering violence, beauty, grief, and art separate merely by a matter of days. \u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003eSo you see once again,” she writes, \u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"AR-SA\" dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003eviolence is to beauty \/ as the warp to the weft \/ always somewhere beneath.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"Default\"\u003eLike the fresco itself, \u003ci\u003eDaywork \u003c\/i\u003eis committed to a time- and site-specific art, and to the daily work of creation.
