This poem was born from a concern for language acquisition, knowledge production, and the domestic sphere. I find that I am continually drawn to the disjunctions and abnormalities in children’s speech, and, more largely, to the language of folk tales and fables. This poem is no exception.

On tackling writer's block, Aaron Coleman writes, "Over time I realized that reading work and looking at art that piques my curiosity is usually what unlocks my own writing. And there are so many different genres and types of books that I rely on in different situations: when I need to find my way back to the music of language it’s rhythm-driven poems and translations from other languages (often Spanish and French in my case) that helps me hear anew all the possible sounds systems in language."

What Sparks Poetry:
Kristin Dykstra on Other Arts
"Dissonance dwells around a dirt road. Dirt roads appear stable, but with time you perceive that they exist in flux. Dissonance became a book of time. Time turns various and nervy–a click marking a photographic moment, a slow burn of interior pain. Photographs interrupt time, invite you into its astonishment. They propose other dimensions, reminding us that even our thoughts enter the past as they travel through the mind." |
