She writes; “A Word About In-the-Moment Poetry<\/p>\n

“Poems written the same day that the events occurred, with an attempt to capture the essence of experience, then allowing it to rest on the page without alteration. The words remain as they first appeared with the exception of editing for spelling and grammar.”<\/p>\n

Some quotes; from ‘Qi Gong–Chi Kung<\/strong><\/em>‘<\/p>\n

‘Boil it all down to this;<\/p>\n

we embrace the cliches<\/p>\n

we shy away from the truth<\/p>\n

we worship self-indulgence<\/p>\n

we worry ourselves sick we hate what we don’t understand<\/p>\n

and still the sun sets, rises again.’<\/p>\n

And from ‘Long Before Day’s Rising’<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘Behind my eyes, coming up<\/p>\n

out of the sandstorm,shaking<\/p>\n

off the dirt and detritus of<\/p>\n

dune-laden sleep, I see myself<\/p>\n

floating on\u00a0 the moon’s imagined<\/p>\n

lake, the mirage of expectation, the explosion of disappointment.<\/p>\n

“Nothing gold can stay”. Nothing.<\/p>\n

The birds will never sing the<\/p>\n

exact same notes in the exact<\/p>\n

same way ever again. My love<\/p>\n

for another constantly changes,<\/p>\n

blowing first this way and then that,<\/p>\n

adapting in order to go on living.<\/p>\n
