Margaret is unlike other women: her hands bark, she speaks Hawaiian
Punch, and she can often be seen prodding at stars with sticks. And
sometimes she is the happiest woman in the world: a pillow with a
pillowcase. Her brother, Alex, feels pleasant enough, except that
his parts are made of wood, and that a bunch of his hair is
electrified. And then there are the gun-shot wounds to his head and
chest. On this final ailment, Margaret may have had a hand. In the
winter of 1926, Margaret McPhail went on trial for the murder of
Alex, and throughout, maintained her innocence. Exhibit, more than
a poetic retelling of her trial, chronicles the path to a verdict,
misstep by misstep. Brother and sister become somewhat knotted
aberrations, grotesqueries that are at times monstrous and at
others quite stunning, at times sickly and at others impressive in
their strength. Folded into these poems, helping to give them their
current, at times strange and potent vision, are cuts from a broad
variety of sources, including, to name only a few, interviews with
Catherine Robbe-Grillet and Eileen Myles, English and Russian fairy
tales, and articles on the history of feminist film.
