Like millions of others, Erin Dorney discovered Adriene Mishler's "Yoga with Adriene" YouTube videos in 2020, while isolating at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yes I Am Human I Know You Were Wondering collects epistolary prose poems written to—and in conversation with—the popular influencer, along with a series of image-text collages. Arranged in a thirty day cycle, these hybrid works test the boundaries of parasocial relationships during a time when many individuals were both highly online and reconnecting with the unmediated natural world. In her continued exploration of celebrity, Dorney brings lyrical playfulness and beauty to pervasive influencer culture, bodily hyperfixation, movement, calendars, and cycles.
