The Essence of Separation
I made this book as part of my Integrative Project (thesis-like thing) my senior year at UofM. I hadn't gotten around to documenting it properly until now. So here it is, for the first time in digital format, (mostly) uncut, with captions to illuminate the illegible.
The Essence of Separation
A Broad but Finite
Fantasy
(By Emerson Schreiner)
The Schizoid Experience
People Are Best Understood
When Faced with Threats from
Schizoid Individuals
Let me explain
The Garden
Became
Dust
Uncontrollable
Rage
And "A Rat A Rat!"
But
They Didn't Speak.
This
Compulsive
Experience
Is
The Obsessive
Music of Life
The Hated Child
A Murder Done
Whose Blood
And Hate
Go Well Beyond
Devotion To
Terror
I Followed Her
She
Didn't Explain
She Didn't
Talk
I Remember That
The Day Everything
Broke
I Remember
The Rain
And
All That They Gave Her
She Was
Like Frost
(was always like that)
He Watched Her He Watched
Everything
Slip Through His Fingers
He's Going
She Said,
"Just Wake Him Up"
I Shook My Head
no
no
no
no
God Knows
But
So do you
Ha! Let me know if you can make any sense of it.

Emerson Scans Things
So every once in a while a fun thing will happen and I'll "finish" a sketchbook. This usually takes me roughly a year to do, but also usually I have 2 or 3 that I'm working on at once. So this fun thing happened to me recently so let me show some highlights
...
But first, let me say this. I've been regularly keeping a sketchbook since I was 13. When I was a teenager I wouldn't let anyone look in them because they were far too personal. It was my place to draw without having to worry about what anyone else thought. Now, I approach sketchbooks essentially the same way, the key difference being that I now let people look inside them.
And so I can only imagine that most anyone's reaction when looking through one of these is something like,
"yo, what is wrong with this dude?"
And I suppose that's because at the time I wasn't really worried about what you thought
but of course now I am
So I still get very nervous showing these
but here they are anyway
