Once, He Went Out Dancing 

March 31, 2021 /

POET & ARTIST

Adrienne Asher’s poems explore ways of finding what female agency and power look like in mythology and history, how to love what perishes, and how our lives resemble and differ from our animal cousins. Her painting in oil range from realism and abstract, depending on the season. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her musician partner, a Maine Coon cat, and nine miles of books.

#IrishWomenPoets That the Science of Cartography #IrishWomenPoets That the Science of Cartography Is Limited —and not simply by the fact that this shading of forest cannot show the fragrance of balsam, the gloom of cypresses, is what I wish to prove. When you and I were first in love we drove to the borders of Connacht and entered a wood there. Look down you said: this was once a famine road. I looked down at ivy and the scutch grass rough-cast stone had disappeared into as you told me in the second winter of their ordeal, in 1847, when the crop had failed twice, Relief Committees gave the starving Irish such roads to build. Where they died, there the road ended and ends still and when I take down the map of this island, it is never so I can say here is the masterful, the apt rendering of the spherical as flat, nor an ingenious design which persuades a curve into a plane, but to tell myself again that the line which says woodland and cries hunger and gives out among sweet pine and cypress, and finds no horizon will not be there. —Eavan Boland *** Photo I took from Ladies View, Killarney Park, Ireland.
