Patricia Clark’s fourth collection of poetry, Sunday Rising, alternates between these skyward and groundward gazes to show us where they meet, and how, in fact, they are the same wonder-filled and bewildered perspective, that light “enter[s] the river with the same / intensity of burning / we see in life at its peak, / or life with the flame / threatening to go out.”

As Fundraising Director for Ruminate Magazine, I’d like to invite you to view (and bid on!) the 45 pieces of 7×7 inch artwork in our Jubilee online art auction. The auction will close September 14, 2013 at 8pm, during the Jubilee Dinner celebration in Fort Collins.
I’ve spent this summer talking to amazing artists–many of whom are past Ruminate contributors–and would like nothing more than for you to also be stunned by their creations, which they made and donated just for this auction.
Contact me with any questions at kristin(at)ruminatemagazine(dot)com.

“We rise and fall by dirt. We breathe it, eat it, return to it in death. The ground-up bones, fermented food,
and skin particles—worms and all.”
