Heavy bear…

March 27, 2019

“That inescapable animal walks with me, Has followed me since the black womb held, Moves where I move, distorting my gesture, A caricature, a swollen shadow, A stupid clown of the spirit’s motive, Perplexes and affronts with his own darkness, The secret life of belly and bone,” Excerpt from “The Heavy Bear Who Goes With Me” by Delmore Schwartz;
design by Meredith Eliassen, 2019.

Eclipse time… a quote

January 5, 2019

I picture fish in an ocean oblivious to human concerns…
