[WHITE] is a book born from obsession. This debut collection of
poetry from Trevor Ketner follows two paths of obsession, laying
them over one another to tease out a critique of whiteness in the
arts that reflects on how we think of whiteness in America.
Throughout, Ketner curates a landscape that is part [auto]
biography and part political synthesis. Ketner's work takes
inspiration from seeing a retrospective of Rauschenberg's work at
the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) seven times and from teaching
themselves to read tarot in two weeks. [WHITE] is a kind of combine
or collage of two projects that speak to and against each other
and, in their juxtaposition, become an entirely different third
thing. As we follow the life of Rauschenberg, so too do we follow
the journey of the fool through the major arcana of the tarot
moving forward into understanding. Here is an examination of queer
bodies, Rauschenberg traveling toward, through, and away from
infamous lovers in pursuit of art and selfhood, eventually finding
himself in "the January water / of a lake nearby / called Eden."
Meanwhile, Ketner exposes the insidiousness of whiteness and its
inescapable role in American history and art.
