PAIGE TAGGART

Paige Taggart founded Mactaggart Jewelry in 2003, but she's been passionate about jewelry her whole life — playing with beads in her hometown of Healdsburg, California. Since then, her craft has evolved into a sophisticated art of counterbalance — juxtaposing stones of raw quality and refined edges with smoother elements. She also loves using vintage parts and pieces, which she reassembles and hammers to create lots of texture and romance. She studied Jewelry Metalsmith at California College of the Arts in Oakland, Ca. and graduated with a BA in Visual Studies from CCA. She then followed her passion for language to the New School, where she earned an MFA in Creative Writing; her love for poetry is reflected in her jewelry concepts and names. From 2006 onwards, she has lived in Brooklyn and worked for various jewelers while honing her own design and craft.

Paige is also the author of two full-length poetry collections, Or Replica (Brooklyn Arts Press, Dec 2014) and Want for Lion (Trembling Pillow Press, March 2014) and 7 chapbooks, most recently Life Afterwards (Third Man Books (only available at Third Man Records in London in a randomized literarium machine), Faux Pas (Factory Hollow Press, 2019), I am Writing To You From Another Country; Translations of Henri Michaux (Greying Ghost Press).

Grateful to be included in the first ever bound to be a classic old-skool style magazine SPIRIT DUPLICATOR!! A selfie for the algorithm, because the internets despise art 🥲 This magazine is handmade on a spirit duplicator machine, free of modern technologies, edited & fashioned by Adam Tobin @adammtobin & Catherine Bresner @catherineb817 . They typed up each poem & hand-pulled the individual pages, over 200 times per page with an alcohol based ink. The issue is full of amazing poems & I was lucky enough to be included in the two unnameable bookstore launch parties, where you can find copies of the issue! @unnameablebooks @unnameablebooksunnameablefalls Part of my poem is excerpted here & a little piece here: if not a lens the sky sees all and knows withered weapons lungs weeping standard achievements hung up awards if not the lens with which the eye can see the all knowing melts down weapons to thumb a cross in the roads saving lives these simple measures must be taken for every human hand that is hungry
