Fermented Words Woody Leslie, 2017 Public installation at City Park in Reedsburg, WI, for Fermentation Fest 2017.
Fermented Words is a series of 30 one-word poems thematically based on vegetables, farming, and fermentation. At their base, they are about the consideration of words—the way words look, seem, and mean. But like any ferment, what comes out is richer than the original ingredients that went in. Through a combination of two or more words, these Fermented Words suggest larger concepts than just the words that comprise them.
