Notation consists of a single poetic line that navigates the contours of memory following the death of a friend. Broadened by companionship, reading, nature study, and travel, Notation questions the boundaries of book and authorship, weaving numerous texts together with close observations of daily life. For Jordan Dunn, " the idea of the perfect book remains thousands of unbound sheets, photographs, and notes spread across a vast table." The practice of taking note, of writing the now as it happens, gathers the living-- the people we haven't lost, those here with us in time.
