“The question”

Posted on • Words by • Art by

Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet: I was thinking about the whole phenomenon of “would you rather” questions, the kind where your answer is supposed to reveal something deep about who you are as a person. Artist Jennifer Van: This image was made on one of those rare stormy California days. The sun kept pushing through the clouds, creating a sense of renewal within the gloom.

Poet Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet is the author of The Greenhouse and Tulips, Water, Ash. She lives in Northern California, where she reads, writes, edits, teaches writing, and works one on one with writers from her backyard Poetry Shack. Artist Jennifer Van is a fine art photographer whose work explores themes of memory, time, and preservation.

“Certain, Impossible, Likely”

Posted on • Words by • Art by

Collaborators’ Q&A: Poet Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet: There was something about the Escher-inspired (Escheresque?) perspective skews that made me think about how strange and unsettling the world of this poem really is.  Artist Se Thut Quon: The poem’s form suggested an incongruous visual composition of collaged parts while its mathematical framework required that the elements be distinct and well defined.

Poet Lisa Gluskin Stonestreet’s book Tulips, Water, Ash was selected for the 2009 Morse Prize and published by University Press of New England. Artist Se Thut Quon lives in Kentucky.
