"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Out of the silence in the empty house each day
And how it is not sudden and it is not given
But is creation itself like the growth of a tree….”~May Sarton

Sometimes the Prompt Dances In Like a Gift

Daily Prompt
 
Dreamt the walls of my bedroom melted away and I found myself surrounded by a herd of gentle deer, with their liquid eyes and dancer feet. They nuzzled me with velvet snouts, and whispered Welcome Welcome. We picked our way through a twilight wood, until the trees opened up into broad sweet-smelling fields. And then we ran, and ran, and ran. 🙂
 
Make art inspired by deer.
