Erin Honeycutt, 2026
NIGHT SCHOOL
Earthy colours with traces of translucent milky neons. A river flowing through a forest where you come to drink, kneeling down and cupping the flow with your hands. Sometimes the water is clear, green straight to the bottom moss, animals meet there. The sound in your head when you lick with your tongue. When your eyes feel like they’re touching something unsolid like a horizon line.
Night School is the synthesis of dreamwork and bookwork, combining collaboration with dream-vision report, creative writing, and AI—a ‘Media Archaeology of Dreams’. Its central character is the author’s voice in this process through ekphrasis. What/where is the separation between the ekphrastic object, the dream, and its description? Layers of the narrative mind, the textual mind, and their translation onto the page, form a collage of mediums: thresholds of the body, actual media, and the voices of others.The reader witnesses themselves reading, in the epistemological shedding of the ‘I’ and the tossing and turning of personhood through first and third, a threshold and a veil. It is a portal of unlearning, a becoming ever arriving.
‘Night School resists gender with a truth that is fundamental but stubbornly unfamiliar: what is life but the morph of one being into another? This insight powers the book to ride waves of transformation. Nothing obeys expectation. A woman digs a a “black pit of earthy soil with tiny green shoots miraculously curling little slivers of green here and there at her feet like some eyelashes” in a theatre toilet to plant a garden. Although the eyes would associate such a scene with shit, “the smell was of overwhelming fresh and moist hummus under forest leaves, bright cold and full of minerals.” Unsettling and beautiful, tender as well as cruel, this book refreshes everything it touches, and it touches much: sex, mother-daughter, all the physical elements. I’m grateful for its new horizons of experience.’
