Into the Desert
On September 2, 2018, I presented a radio show on BBC-Radio 4 about Walter de Maria’s land art sculpture, The Lightning Field, which was constructed in the remote high desert of New Mexico. The poems here are those I share on that journey into the nature of art, culture, and our place in the world. Read below, and listen to the show to hear them aloud and learn about The Lightning Field. Listen to the BBC program (available until October 1, 2018): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bgpcgz

These poems consider a larger habitat than just one that is human, a larger vantage point than just the human “I,” and ask us to reconsider the relationships that separate, bond, and connect us.

"We are living in the apocalypse. The first moment of time was the first moment of apocalypse and death. Please, don’t fear the apocalypse." - László Krasznahorkai "Before me there was no time, after me there will be none. With me it is born, with me it will also die." - Daniel von Czepko, Sexcenta Monidisticha Sapientum III, II (1655)
