My guest today is my friend and colleague, Janet Kvammen, poet, mixed media, lens-based artist and community arts volunteer. I am very happy to share a little bit of her work, both art and poetry, with everyone! You can find out more about her and her work here and on Instagram, here. Enfolded © Janet Kvammen I feel home in serene quietudes of coastal forests, near wandering rivers, and wild Pacific tides— where a cool breeze meets skin. My bare toes pink sucklings ravenous for comfort— found deep within the salty turbid earth. I sift sand in my hands. Seek out fragments of time, glass tumbled smooth, speckled stones, abalone and periwinkle shell. Each becoming a miniature relic, a sacred dose of medicine: an antiviral of placebo varieties. Sheltered in place. Nesting pain forgotten, enfolded in swathe of wing. previously published in Sea To Sky Review, May 2021
