Shine Journal: the fence + Light 1, 2



the new issue of Shine is online - and includes my poem "the fence", and 2 photos "Light 1" and "Light 2" - here's the page: Shine / Dorothee Lang.

such a beautiful layout, and exciting to see the "Light" photos there, enhanced by the black background, and in correspondence with the white water lily.

here'a bit of background (this will also appear soon on the Shine page as footnote):
Both the images and the poem were inspired by the garden here. I wrote the poem as part of a daily poetry month, which let me pick up moments / emotions and work with them. The photos were inspired by a september day that came with a blazing blue sky. The leaves belong to iris flowers, the petal stem in “Light 2” is a gladiolus. It’s one of the things that keeps amazing me: the details of growth.

following the theme of corresponding images - make sure to visit the page of Shine's arist in residence, Megan Anne Metzelaar - you'll find sky photos, peony close-ups, and tulip light photos: Showing, February - August
