University of Richmond Book Arts Studio Under the knife Franklin, Krista Franklin, Krista Austin, Matt Candor Arts (Chicago, Ill.) Franklin, Krista BA-48 /repositories/6/resources/106 1 Volumes includes illustrations 28 cm December 2018 Part memoir, part treatise, part collage and experiment, Krista Franklin's Under the Knife is an excavation; a dig at the sites of the construction and demolition of the poet/artist's selves. Franklin plays fast and loose with fact at the crossroads of the history of her maternal line and her own in a ruptured conversation about inheritance and the generational traumas that blossom in the body. Under the Knife hiccups, cross-fades and stops midsentence as Franklin cuts through the illusion of memory, the pathologies of history, and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
