Picking Apart the Stitches captures the immediacy of Stefanson’s spoken word performance with a poetic physicality that you can “dig into with your fingertips” and “cake your nails with.” Stefanson cuts apart images of domestic love, displays her passions, and salvages the scraps “like a desperate quilter.” Her first solo chapbook is printed on tree-free paper and bound in repurposed theatre curtains in an edition of 75 copies.
