“Really interested in this conversation of language as an inscripting force. The english language has so many opportunities to shape our perception—as poets how do we combat this? L’Abbé saying (in the Korean model) “the seeing is a relationship in between.” And Mia, “grammar can give us a long review of history.” The English language inseparable from colonial thinking—so where do we begin the process of separation? Ada Limón also speaks of the language of reciprocity, how do we let the world retain it’s difference—how to resist transcending the bird into immediate metaphor or symbol. We have no choice but to participate in language, but we can choose to build it out, begin a reshaping.”
