"Apple Answers for Orange Questions" is a collection of poems mainly written between 2017 and 2019: a shadowed period with a lived experience of health struggles, insomnia, anhedonia, and anxiety. I suppose they were a way to reclaim a foothold. They are not dark poems, however, for they chart my return to the body after a long absence and scale the themes of what emerged as true and worth keeping. My memory is very fragmented and un-sequenced. It's an attic full of scattered papers that I rarely visit, but these poems are scraps I have saved. Their raw materials are Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Light. They broadly chart a growing orientation towards the material body in its place and time, frequently tugging on its string, like a kite that wants to be up and away.
