Lapidary
nests and stones
she loves
polishing
them and
arranging
them for
display, yes,
but for
living in
mostly
(10 April 2021
for Josette Redwolf)
Mark Hein, a poet and painter, began making art on a fog-swept hill in San Francisco. After traveling the world, raising a family, and working as a teacher, journalist, and psychotherapist, he makes art in a wooded canyon in Los Angeles.
"I wrote my first poem at 14, to struggle with a loss...
It's been a way of working through crises ever since.
But it's also become a way of celebrating moments (hence my love of haiku),
and exploring our intense feelings.
I haven't sought to publish my poetry since
I was in my early 20s... Now, I simply want to make it
available to whomever it was given me for."
