EXCERPT

Each surface brushed with a trace of venom

or lace of fertile fire

like light penetrating through the canopy of an oak

nature: its own needle, sharp to thread the future

shakes the world into matter.

CENTENARIAN VISION

The Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida used to say "one should not forget that future and past are contemporary."

How do writers in 2018 see through a century?

We are a group of Tampa Bay and San Francisco Bay authors investigating how our current realities play on our interpretation of one-hundred-year-old photographs from these 2 port town sites of immigration and industry.

We hope to engage reflections on the effects of time on memory, to question the notion of history as an event in the past, and to comment on the resonances between the US coastal boundaries one hundred years ago and today.

EXCERPT

Sleeping and waking,

they lean into each other—

bookends enfolding the

Great Work of Life.

Reams of ongoing drafts

flood the universe.

... Do not forget

the night journey is

part of the story.

Diaphany: A Journal & Nocturne

Co-editor

DIAPHANY is an international peer-reviewed volume dedicated to the living confluence of poetic, phenomenological and empirical perceptions of reality. Drawing from both the arts and sciences, and then dissolving their boundaries, Diaphany weds the vital, experiential dimension of reality to rigorous, source-based research.

Diaphany is not interested in so-called ‘objective’, ‘dispassionate’, or ‘impersonal’ inquiry for its own sake. Rather, Diaphany seeks work that makes the invisible visible and the eternal tangible according to a Kandinskian ‘inner necessity’ (innere Notwendigkeit).

“Hearing the Metron” in Architecture of Life

UC Berkeley
Museum of Art, 2016

EXCERPT

Breath exists in rhythm. Our language is built into this swing, and our speech reflects it clearly. The ancient Greeks called this rhythmic quality of the spoken word metron. The Romans called it meditor, a poetic cadence which also meant “to meditate.” The poetic experience is a kind of meditation or presence that moves attention in tempo with the soul to hear the metron. As we learn to listen to this music, we hear what establishes a connection between human and time.

PRAISE

To be a philosopher, a lover of wisdom, is to fall in love with fragments of unity, like the great Heraclitus who millennia ago said all things are one, no in and out, no I and Thou, no honey and venom. For the Greeks the bee was spirit and Dalla Valle has given us this vision of Unity, the humble bee as emissary to know tiny bits of energy as infinity. It is a perfect contemplation to know that in our gathering we and the bee are one.

PRAISE

The true artist, as Plato writes, "is one who is able to make not only vessels of every kind . . . but make the gods also by turning a mirror round and round . . ." in the creation of a hymn. Sabrina Dalla Valle offers readers this hymn. Simultaneously personal and transpersonal, this is a work that will both disturb and delight you.

This inaugural exhibition in BAMPFA's landmark new building, explores the ways that architecture—as concept, metaphor, and practice—illuminates various aspects of life experience: the nature of the self and psyche, the fundamental structures of reality, and the power of the imagination to reshape our world.
