Arranged Women

A recent Gogyohka project inspired by the artistry of Davor Rapaić; Poems whose work I happened upon during a trip to Rovinj In Coratia. These women grace my modest private art collection and I was drawn to venture writing in response to how each one spoke to me of an imagined 'private sojourn' somewhere. Am delighted that Robert Frede Kenter of Ice Floe Press,selected to host the series.

 FALLING SLOWLY

A book cover depicting raised arms crossed at the wrist.

Gathered from a specific time, when surrounded by loss – not only in her personal relationships, but via the media coverage of warzones, as well as her own experiences of civil conflict  – the normalising of the inconceivable, collective grief, and her homeland apartheid, layers of meanings gradually became apparent, visit after visit. From the visible to the emotional landscape, Amantine explores the realities of the underlying lament of women living in the world of today, without fully revealing them. Overarching all of these experiences is the undeniable longing for intimacy, connection and joy that exists, regardless of the situation. These understandings are as relevant as they have ever been.

The images explored are founded in a deep found belief in the indistinguishable essence of women. A strength, that through grief, loss and living, creativity, and through the waypoints, at which women find themselves, create a resilience and resistance that persists. These explorations are vital,  especially seen through the lens of those who have been subjected to the cruelty of abuse of power.

    Cormorant Garamond is a classic font with a modern twist. It's easy to read on screens of every shape and size, and perfect for long blocks of text.

"Amantine Brodeur is, in my experience, a singular voice within poetry. Her poems are not easy to classify, nor, I feel, are they meant to be. They suggest deep personal insight into the pain and incoherence so often latent in the human condition. She writes from a place of interiority, almost of self-explanation, describing the psychological and personal fractures that life can inflict with a vivid palette of images and metaphors."
