Haiku
“From the day Imogen was born, my life changed. Every moment, good, bad, or somewhere in between, is poetic.
As an artist, a professor, and a feminist, each moment of interaction is laced with the hopes and desires I carry for how her life will unfold, and yet, the mother-daugh- ter relationship is complicated by the un- expected way in which the reality of those moments and events shared in life unfold. Haiku alludes to the intimate daily circum- stances between my daughter and me, and the historical and cultural in uences that shape us both. We are tied by experience, memory, and DNA.”
