Photogravure

What happens when you take a photo, a poem about a photo, and the interpretations of that poem and photo, and form a discussion about them? You get something similar to the old-school process of photogravure, only with words and images. Throw in some references to Tennyson for good measure. Understand more at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Wallflower

How often is it
that the smallest of things
prick us to the greatest movement --
the nettle spurs the dray,
or a seedling lives to loom
in oaken splendor.
Here a minor green urging
subtly speaks above the wood gravure;
we tune ourselves
to its sunward moment,
the dynamics of its song
invincible yet dying
all at once.
