Origin of the Species left in five ecosystems for a year: a gorgeous photographic and poetic document of Nature's force.

Poets Stephen Collis and Jordan Scott left copies of Charles Darwin''s On the Origin of Species to decay in five distinct ecosystems in British Columbia. A year later, they photographed what remained, reading poetry into nature''s "rewriting" process and documenting the gorgeous detritus in Decomp, a long poem in prose and color photographs.

Darwin is an eye amidst graphed genera seeing the web it is woven thereof. A matted scrap of printed material, shit, soil and leaf rot—all dried, bleached and curled up at small edges.

Stephen Collis is the author of four books of poetry and a collection of essays, Dispatches from the Occupation.

Jordan Scott is the author of Silt and Blert, which explores the poetics of stuttering.
