4pm - 5:30 pm Ponder-ing

As part of the 2021 WUmester theme, Two Ponders is a collaboration between Barbara Waterman-Peters and Dennis Etzel, Jr. exploring water--a triptych of the past, present, and future--with an overall message for the need of water sustainability. This art installation is an immersive experience for inspiration, moving from art and poetry into a space for the viewer to become a ponder and create their own artistic or poetic work. Finally, in the lobby, participants can add, move around, and contemplate the larger community work both on the wall and up ahead.

I need to remind myself not only to watch that I don't reinjure myself when it comes to writing, but to not get to anxious about sending work out. To slow down, to work on each poem, as it is not a race but a competition.

Even switching from doing my lyrical poems to one of my experimental approaches can help with anxiety.

The War in The War

As a descendant of a Vietnam Veteran, I am feeling the contemporary movement of how the War feels like it is still not over--from Ken Burns to editor Lauren McClung's Inheriting the War. As McClung says in her introduction, "When one inherits the residue of a parent's experience of war . . . one also inherits an abstraction. . . ." These prose poems are the best way for me to find my way through the abstraction.

"But whatever one witnessed in battle became a silence carried within. Soldiers are always dreaming themselves into the future as a way of getting beyond this, of moving forward. As a man, I sometimes think back to the fragments of Uncle Jesse's experience, and I realize that those closest are left merely to imagination as a means of understanding."
