Atomic Masquerade presents a collection of visual poems, including 2D and 3D calligrams, glyphic poems, palimpsests, and collages. Many of the pieces are reimaginings of existing poems, myths, and stories.

“Clara Etherin uses the letters of the alphabet, like molecular particles of glitter, to costume both the beauties and the monsters at a soirée, where we celebrate the carnival of language at play. Wear the mask of 'reader' and come join the pantomime!”

—  Christian Bök

“Atomic Masquerade is a playful visual treat. Language is rendered as a decorative costume worn by the subject of each poem. Words and  images dance together, and each page turn reveals something different. The historical and contemporary are woven together as Clara Etherin explores fictional bodies, mythical creatures, and familiar places, showcasing the diversity of her concrete poetic range.”
