Baltimore Sonnets

In Sequent Toil Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,  So do our minutes hasten to their end; Each changing place with that which goes before, In sequent toil all forwards do contend.     - Shakespeare's Sonnet 60 When making this book, I couldn't help but wonder: Whose memories and experiences of our time will become part of documented history? And which memories will be washed away with the waves of time? sc💙

Artistic Research Residencies In Sequent Toil, 2024, handmade book by Suzanne Coley Some residencies are life changing and put you on a path you never imagined for yourself. They inspire creativity and offer opportunities to meet and work with scholars you have only read about in textbooks. These scholars love what they do and their approach is joyfully rigorous! They enjoy talking about challenging literary works and explore complex themes and characters. They patiently listen and review your art based on these readings and offer you insightful feedback. They introduce you to more books and scholarship. Your mind spins and your hands get to working, producing art and books you never imagined possible. I am forever thankful for my wonderful residency at Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and my continued work with their scholars.
