Self-Discovery Through Honor Moore’s “Our Revolution”
My own mother died years ago, and, similar to Honor Moore’s experience, she left me her journals, letters, essays, and notebooks filled with quotations and existential pondering. Like Moore, it took me years to fully unpack the boxes, a decade slipping away before I gathered the courage to read it all front to back and try to make sense of my mother’s life.
Evangelina Concepcion
Your father held one of your mother’s notebooks where she wrote the names and addresses of the homes she cleaned. A few sticky notes stuck out like orange tongues from the notebook as he flipped through the pages.
“I exist outside of time”, “through the heavy stone wall”, & “In the vastness between us”
I exist outside of time.
You open the door, and beneath your bare feet
crunches glass, wind rushes
into your eyes. You open your hands,
and husks and ashes dance
in an unending chain.
The Epiphany 10: Interview w/ Amber Sparks on Chipping Away and Good Advice
Oh, terribly undisciplined. I've never been the writer who sits down at a desk in the morning and writes every day—I just couldn't. I have gotten better about it, and less precious—letting myself write on my phone, for example, rather than needing a perfect environment.
The Epiphany 10: Interview w/ Marcus Wicker on Poetry and Collaging
All I know is, each time I read a poem that seduces my senses—that moves me to catharsis or imparts its own unique brand of wisdom—I change a little. And this fills me with gratitude because, once I mark the page, I know exactly where to locate the feeling that poem roused when I need it.
