Wandering in the Woods

Concrete, cement, oil slicks, exhaust.  Exhaustion.  When I wake up aching for air that seems to contain a magical quality of rejuvenation, when my mind echoes off the constant noise of traffic, I head to the woods.  I’m not out to summit mountains, I’m there to let my mind be quiet and my soul be …

My Plan for Surviving Zombie Attacks: The Making of a Successful & Effective Community

I have this unreasonable fear of zombies. Yes I said zombies – the walking, flesh eating, reanimated and blaming the world for it, dead. Zombies. I can’t help it. I never watch scary zombie movies or indulge in Kimbundu romanticized folk lore, yet I can’t help but find myself waiting for some virus, chemical spill, …

Silence

I wrote this, inspired by Roxy Hornbeck’s poem Alone, to explore womanhood meeting motherhood meeting the world.  I wanted to express a somewhat darker side of motherhood.  Granted there are intricate, fragile, beautiful moments raising children, but despite that there is a deeper side always wondering how to juggle the roles of woman, mother, friend, …

daydreaming, part 2

Life is full of routine.  Daily chores, activities, and a constant barrage of demands often leave us lacking in time and in imagination.  As I have mentioned, I am attempting to regain that part of my mind by studying surrealism, to begin to see the world fresh again.  Cynicism seems to creep into life so …

“All the World’s a Stage …”: Gender Transgressing In Shakespeare

The Kidnapping of Ganymede

I climbed up the stairs to the back entrance of the stage. The faint sounds of ‘Blondie’ could be heard pushing their way through the beat-up speakers of an old boom-box as a hand full of carpenters added finishing touches to the plywood set of next month’s show. As I opened the …

Daydreaming

untitled by Emily Worden
As a photographer I tend to lean toward the photojournalistic side.  I like reality.  I see so much beauty and chaos in it from behind the lens that for years that is what I have captured and as time goes on I hope to share that with you.  But for a time …
