Overview
Diaspora of Things, an extended poetic sequence, digs into the world of emotional artifacts, as a means to negotiate one's relationship with the dead. When the house is sold, the poet excavates her mother's mute collection of objects, as if after a shipwreck, searching for clues that might leap across and bridge the silence. In grief, our deepest values are exposed, questioned, and asserted - touching upon the nature of art at the core of survival itself. Portrait, auto-portrait, Diaspora of Things engages in phenomenology, as yearning for and gesture towards acceptance.
