I'm realizing that memory
you become such a big part of my work because there was so much my life where
it was difficult to even think of memory to approach the past or even to hold
memories in to remember things I sometimes still have difficulties on bad days
what I call bad days where my mental health isn't and check and to remember
even names or things and I'm sure many people feel this way too so maybe my
work is a way to connect with others through this idea of memory
Another thing again that
I see that Documentary Poetics has shown me is the past is still relevant when
you've connected to the context of the present without calling it the past and
our lives are this way and especially having children where time just seems to
go by so fast yes these are all cliches but this is something we can use for
our art and in my poetry I see this coming with the even sitting down to write
about the painting Sunday afternoon in the Park which is actually a person
painting with a different name that I had seen in Chicago a long time ago with
my mothers so everything about the painting is not just the painting itself but
all of the contacts historical personal familial about it the style of the
painting with the painting was trying to do the zone contexts of
interpretations and then what am I trying to discover in my writing process
about what the painting has to show me
Ultimately I'm realizing that the theme of the park is going to become many of the poems. Also the ekphrastic books I'm carrying will help guide me to my own poems
