Receipt of Days -

Fasano's long, thin poem is a masterful blend of form and content-a journey printed on thermal cash register receipt paper that challenges the very boundaries of its medium. Originally conceived on a roll of old, yellowed cash register receipt paper and later transposed via a text app, this work is a uniquely autobiographical narrative capturing the essence of a single month during a California winter.

Immerse yourself in a series of poetic meditations that explore the delicate interplay between creative expression and the transitory nature of life. The work delves into themes of impermanence, transformation, and the paradox of order and chaos, using vivid imagery that spans from the tactile act of typing on a narrow strip of paper to the dramatic shifts in nature-rain, snow, and changing seasons.

Experience a narrative that reflects on creative endurance and the eternal cycles of decay and rebirth, ultimately offering hope for new beginnings. Through its lyrical language, the text oscillates between the physical and the abstract, challenging creative constraints while celebrating liberation, love, and loss. Each line invites you to witness the profound interplay of tragedy and renewal-a testament to the ceaseless march of time and the promise hidden within every ending.

Discover a work where the medium informs the message, and every word is a meditation on the fleeting yet impactful moments that define our lives.
