Το σπίτι μας

Το σπίτι μας έχει τη μορφή του σώματος της μάνας μου. Εκείνη έχει μελανιά στο χέρι και στο σπίτι έχει σπάσει ένα ντουλάπι της κουζίνας. Η μελανιά της μάνας μου ξεθώριασε με τον καιρό. Το ντουλάπι στο σπίτι μαστορεύτηκε όπως όπως.

Ενίοτε το σπίτι μας έχει τη μορφή του σώματος του πατέρα μου. Εκείνος έχει γρατζουνιές στο πρόσωπο και στα χέρια, και στο σπίτι υπάρχουν σπασμένα γυαλιά στο πάτωμα.

Οι γρατζουνιές με το καιρό φεύγουν και τα σπασμένα γυαλιά κάποιος τα μαζεύει.

Here’s where you can find the book Attendance, which I wrote with Rocío Carlos.

Order through your local brick-and-mortar bookseller. IndieBound can sometimes help with this, but going straight to the source is ✨✨✨. The ISBN is 9781946031327 / 1946031321.

Find it at a library with WorldCat. Ask your local library to add it! I’m especially happy it’s at the Los Angeles Public Library, since it was mostly written in and of Los Ángeles.

Straight from the publisher, The Operating System.

The big online stores have it too.

Show up at an event where Rocío or I are reading or facilitating! We usually promote those on twitter [@rachel_kaminer / @ninabruja7] or instagram [@rachel_kaminer / @ninabruja].

I also wrote a book called As in the dark, descend. Here!

come falleth in my push-you where it hurts and let me rough you under, be a laugh and breathe me please in whole inhale 

come warmeth, I can outcanoevre you into the smallest small where it moils up and masses under the sloosh gates, put your head,

it looks a good one, full of kiss and known to those you love, come roll it on my stones, come tongue-in-skull, come drinketh, come sleepeth I was pinioned by the pressure, the whole river-power of Dartmoor, not even five men pulling on a rope could shift me. It was one of those experiences — I was sideways, leaning upstream, a tattered shape in perilous relationship with time 

- from Alice Oswald’s Dart

An experiment, 1 October 2019 — 30 September 2020, on twitch and elsewhere. Particularly engaged with the US Drought Monitor, the Los Angeles Times and first-hand water reports from y’all in the twitch chat on Thursday nights (Pacific).

What is a water year? A calendar measure used in hydrology, especially when monitoring drought as it impacts people and agriculture. The water year helps us understand how record rainfall may not be enough to bring the land out of a drought. Also, feelings.

Através de uma abordagem documental interativa, pretendo versar sobre a temática da comunicação em tempos de crise, utilizando uma narrativa assente no conceito de documentary poetry.

O documentário que resultará desta pesquisa tem como intuito sensibilizar e preprarar o espectador para possíveis cenários de crise pelos quais possa vir a passar. Paralelamente, procuro explorar diferentes formas de produzir um documentário que se revele impactante e que promova a literacia desse mesmo tema.

Seeking

Jasmine wafting into the air, sitting stagnant where you stare. Piercing a veil of dread, sliding through an open window.

Don’t you remember, a heart of guilt,               compared,                    to a heart of gold?

Something so fair, talked to open wounds. Understanding a heart ,                            of gloom

She sat there bare, covered in agony, seeking pleasant memories, smelling pleasant air.

Understanding a heart,                               of gloom,                       is better left alone, until one finds a wilting willow.

Sat under brush, grazed with mossy furze, a peculiar sight engulfed with,                                           pride.
