Katy Bohinc’s Trinity Star Trinity is a long poem dedicated to the divine feminine, written in response to her experiences and encounters with faith and divinity during a sojourn on the islands of Lesvos, the home of Sappho; Samos, the birthplace of Hera; and Patmos, where St John wrote the Book of Revelation.
With Trinity Star Trinity Katy Bohinc has reclaimed the ancient form of the ode or chant in an Oulipian mathematical reinvention which transports faith and the trinity to an expanded dimension: three cubed, or 27 poems of 27 words each.
Trinity Star Trinity
3 cubed / 3 times 3 times 3
27 poems of 27 words each
Arguably the first use of poetry was witchcraft. Artists know a poem's birth can be magic.
Trinity Star Trinity re-invents the rhythms of the ancient ode as "trinity cubed"— 27 poems of 27 words each.
Dedicated to Hera, the last of the Goddesses before a 2,500 year reign of male deities, Trinity Star Trinity envisions a four-dimensional faith where spirit and muse are in dialogue and devotion in mutual extase.

Most recently, Trinity has been performed alongside electronic music at TedX San Miguel Allende and MetalX San Juan. De Kai of ReOreintate created a musical backdrop of “all threes” (bars of 3, beats of 3, pulses of 3, etcetera) to support the “trinity cubed”. The combination is a mesmerizing, hypnotic offering to Hera.
