“blUe magnets: a few millibreaths away from intimacy” is a bilingual collection of poem-letters that intermittently document the lives and movements of the author’s grandfather, N.K., as well as those of their family across Greece-Switzerland-Canada-Greece, from the 1960s until the present day.

Drawing from the photographic and textual body of the family archive, the author (self)translates these stories and movements into new archival bodies and languages.

The book appropriates the forgotten and now disused 19th-century type of “blue magnetism,” and introduces ‘millibreaths,’ an invented unit of measurement whose constant deviation highlights the paradox of being at once close to and far from “a language, a body, an I” that we call intimacy.
