Inscribing the Body with Bio Compatible Silk

This is an 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 breathtaking applications of silk combined with poetry.
