“Ashes for Breakfast” refers to the title of a poem by the contemporary German poet Durs Grunbein which Joe Biel cites as a source for his sprawling, intricate and often apocalyptic graphite works on paper. The poem is a multi-part catalogue of contemporary urban life -- humorous and bleak, existentially unmoored, and fed an endless stream of information about the atrocities of the day. It is a life with the peculiar feature in which one is as removed from the world as one is morally engaged with it:
I have breakfasted on ashes, the black
Dust that comes off newspapers, from the freshly printed columns.
When a coup makes no stain, and a tornado sticks to half a page.
And it seemed to me as though the Fates licked their lips.
