"Death, dying, decaying is a generative, natural process in Indian Summer Recycling. This requires a new perspective, one that constantly needs reframing.How we each ache and long to be put to rest in ways similar to the 'Spent firework in the grass' that 'must have been some pretty thing.' How we long to become 'Micronutrients from decomposers' that are small but necessary to lifeforms, like the 'Hatchling insects' which 'obscure the clarity of the riverbed,'" etc.
So grateful for Evan Gray's tender and enthusiastic response to Indian Summer Recycling (The Magnificent Field, 2019)--much of which was written nearby Evan's hometown, Jefferson, NC--in the new issue of DIAGRAM! So glad to be caught up in echoes with so many friends there: Kathryn Cowles, Christopher Patton, Adam Tedesco, Shira Dentz.
