Here I have made a scene where my father helps two old sisters move a refrigerator. It is not a scene drawn from a single day and place, but from the decorum of an entire life, and, as such, I mean it as a love poem

"Ekphrastic Poetry with Victoria Chang"
"To allow a piece of visual art to infiltrate one’s consciousness, and then create a poem to articulate that embodiment—oftentimes in new language or new perception—can be a powerful and mysterious process. In an ekphrastic correspondence, the poet not only embodies a piece of art but becomes an accessory to the process of making."

What Sparks Poetry:
Rob Schlegel on Michele Glazer's fretwork
"In an explanation of the process the multidisciplinary artist Saul Melman uses in his Anthropocene Series (featured on the cover of fretwork) Glazer writes, 'The artist sets a process in motion, but the materials have the last word.' It's a deeply instructive metaphor for how Glazer allies with language to create poems that feel and sound as though she is tapping into a frequency just beyond herself." |
