"... my relationship with most art living or lost / is the same as yours: we will pass it by" bemoans the last poem in Jacob McArthur Mooney's latest collection. Written as a sequence of "ghost ekphrastics" (poems inspired by works of art that neither the poet nor most living people have ever seen), Frank's Wing constructs a whole world of lost or destroyed artifacts that have been rearticulated and resurrected, brought back to life by a fictional property baron as a dying gift to Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario. From "decadent" modern paintings torched by Nazis, to lost films, to never-performed performance art, the abiding premise of the book is that art invites mourning: not because it is mournful, but because it is vast. It taunts the plans of mortals while "a week / of kids' videos and lip syncs / siphon through the internet each second." Bordering ideas about FOMO and mortality are considerations of destruction itself, as the book recalls loss events predicted by both the considered works' historical contexts and the frailties of their makers. Concerned with consuming art as much as with making it, Frank's Wing examines the positions made available to the art-consumer: owner, overhearer, interrogator, and potentially, both destroyer and the thing that art destroys.
