"It is not so much that I miss you" by Dorothea Grossman:
It is not so much that I miss you
as the remembering
which I suppose is a form of missing
except more positive,
like the time of the blackout
when fear was my first response
followed by love of the dark.
Bryan Nash Gill describes his piece, "Compression Wood, 2011, 76 years printed," seen above:
The term compression wood describes trees that grow abnormally in the forest. This growth may result from heavy snow or uprooting, or simply from the tree reaching for sunlight. The seashell-like pattern of this block implies that the tree was bending in the direction of the top of the print.
