Poetic Time

Like photography, the imagery and language of poetry can take us into time, out of time, beyond time. Heather Swan's poetry investigates the mysteries of human presence in landscapes of deep time, insect time, lake time, times of grief and times of elation. She will share poems and approaches that overlap the art of image-making with the lens and image-making with words. 

Together we will ponder: Can photography and poetry bring us closer to the ways that more-than-human-beings inhabit time, and how might we learn from their perspectives?

Alongside this dynamic talk, Heather also shared a poem as a prompt and invited collaborators to respond with images. Together we will weave the images made in response to the poem into a collaborative offering that will be featured on the Kinship website.
