Precious Kofi/Russell Carmony: Autobiography of Silence

Journey to the Borderlands: an essay collaboration in paintings and words Precious Kofi. The Veil. Acrylic on canvas. 2021. “Tell me what you see.” Precious Kofi doesn't have to voice an invitation for emersion into her paintings. The color streams on her canvases open to the inevitability of a call and response. Tell chants an invocation to story, the chance to transmit the eye's epics, sonnets and symphonies. Shadowing the entreaty to engage are the questions she bypasses:

Sarah Tollok: Never Go Back

Battlements I remember there being battlements at the top of my childhood elementary school as clearly as I remember the wonderful varnish scent of the wood-paneled cloak room where we hung all our wet and dripping jackets. Puffy astronaut snow boots were lined up underneath, replaced with white and black stiff leather oxfords pulled from backpacks. When it was especially cold, the girls would wa

Something Immovable About Dietrich Bonhoeffer I was fascinated with Dietrich Bonhoeffer years before I ever set foot in West Germany. As a young adult I heard his name in my Methodist church. My teenage interpretation was Bonhoeffer was the religious guy who went back to Germany to kill Hitler. It was a sexy slant to construct a modern day Christian hero. The ancient tales from the Bible are much

I tried not to think of whose lips the cigarette had gone to before mine when I picked it off the street before high priced loafers kicked it along or snuffed it out. I remember smiling when I spied a blanket someone stuffed in a black trash bag in the big,

Hey there, Fat Lady here-- at least one of many. And, in between plates, I’ve got something to say: First, how are you doing? Is quarantine getting you down? Are you feeling listless, restless, tactless and a teensy bit bored? I’m right there with you. I know this essay is a hefty heaping. I know we are used to one minu

Željka Bašanović Marković: Visine

Image: Unsplash, preuzeto https://unsplash.com/photos/BRlvvBYeyqw (8.5.2021.) Dete Kad sam bio mali voleo sam da se penjem na uzvišenja. Ako ih nije bilo, ređao bih cigle kao kakav pijedastal i ponosno stajao na njih. Stegao bih besnice i uzdigao obe ruke savijene u laktovima. Mali i nerazvijeni mišići nabubrili bi. Sebi sam izgledao snažan. Kada bi me odrasli videli smejali su se i govorili da siđem. Odbijao sam. Šta su oni znali o tome?! Ne možeš govoriti o visinama ako nis
