Discover the works of Nadine Boughton & Otto Laske — books, reviews, and reflections.
Nadine Boughton was a multi-disciplinary artist steeped in the iconography of the feminine, in particular of mothering, the word taken in its broadest possible sense. Mothering, for her, included more than actual birthing, namely nurturing life and self-nurturance. She was a lifelong searcher, asking questions about who she was and was becoming at different stages of her life.
As a poet and writer, Nadine drew from a well of deep wonder and fascination about the world and her own body, its physical transformations across life and its continuous birthing of new life even when not bearing children, fully aware of beauty as well as suffering whose polarity she made a focus of her art making.

Otto Laske is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work comprises poetry, musical compositions, visual art, and scholarly writings.
For him as a bilingual poet born in Central Europe who started a new life in North America at age thirty, a central theme is the forging of identity through the crucible of displacement and loss of home, regardless of whether the home is a cultural or personal one. In his work, this theme is inseparable from a deep connection with nature as a holding force that stands outside of the vicissitudes of history.
