The truth is out there… and it’s in this book. Amaris Feland Ketcham uses the technique of found poetry—limiting her word bank to the transcripts of episodes of The X-Files—to craft entirely new and vivid poetry. Indebted to the show’s writers for using such interesting and precise words, this collection retains a sense of mystery and inquiry, mirroring and adapting big ideas and issues, and a smattering of references and slang that make them read like a kind of 1990s Homeric. Proudly printed on exquisite heavyweight 100# paper and perfect bound in New Mexico.

From the Introduction:

“Rainy nights, with a flashlight cutting through the forest; long shadows down narrow hallways flanked in darkness; improbably, even the basements of the FBI building seemed foggy—these were the scenes that I loved when watching The X-Files aired in the 1990s. I spent many Friday nights immersed in its eerie atmosphere and fantastical stories. It was only recently while re-watching some episodes that I came to appreciate the dialogue, and out of a playful impulse, started to experiment with lines from the script.”
