Noah David Roberts - Mutable Forests

“& I’ve lived in this body so long that it is incidental with the

mask of the enemy & I am not one of them”

A Bird Perches on My Ribs

In Mutable Forests, Noah David Roberts situates the trans body directly in the path of creation. Rooted, muddied, and lost to the snow, Roberts parallels the stuttering progression of flora and fauna as we make our tandem, entangled way through the world. As often hopeful as confounded, Mutable Forests looks back and then forward before stopping to swap roots out for shoes, try asphalt for traction, and swap one foot back again. How to be steady in a world ever shifting? How to keep shifting in a too stagnant world? If we’re meant to continue, we’ll have to do both.
