Inscribing the Body with Bio Compatible Silk

This is a astonishing project by poet Jen Bervin, who travels to different countries to learn about the traditional methods of silk cultivation, from the trees to the spinning worms in their silky-sticky cocoons -- and then home again to see the remarkable cutting-edge technologies made with silk. Discovered to be bio-compatible with the human body, silk has incredible possibilities for medical use. As a poet, Bervin  sees unique and breath-taking applications of silk combined with poetry.
