Erik & Frida Clasp Hands
Birds in branches, peacocks preen.
Birds in branches, peacocks preen.
I love writing about art and see myself as a visual thinker.
The women I paint are always portrayed not
just for their physical beauty but to emphasize their complexities, challenges, strengths and vulnerabilities.
... the dreamy interiority of the poets I loved felt like an untouchable refuge.
I paint in orange desire, he in glorious gold.
I enjoy rooms full of bright faces of all ages.
I realized that when you focus on one person, when you narrow the lens, it deepens the story.
I love all kinds of writing and forms—it's a chance to play, contort yourself into a particular kind of pattern and figure out how to write within that constraint.
Shoes for Lucy is a book of poems by Lynne Kemen, published fall 2023.
The sunflowers shine with crooked teeth. Miniature versions of suns.
