Hearing Her
To Hear Her
it all returns.
the dark room,
the shrinking veins,
the strong, rageful pumping at her center
it travels like wind
here and then gone
waking and sleeping on a clock of it’s own
Hearing Her by Angie Hoover- Hillhouse
I wrote this several months after my girlfriend broke up with me in 2004. It’s probably published in my high school livejournal along with other evidence of teenage angst. We all used to feel our feelings very publicly in those days. I’m sure I wrote this hoping that she would contact me out of pity. Now I’m marrying a man, and she’s teaching english to impoverished Ecuadorian children.

Summer
The sun, she reaches down to stroke
the soft red skin of poppies smiling
Heat moves quickly through the garden
Worlds between them blossom bright
Green and Yellow wide awake
holes and corners washed to white
Breaths of light blown into shadows
Til she folds away to sleep

Collage: Cynthia
I think collage is really honest. We connect to it in a lot of ways because it’s inherently disconnected pieces that are all thrown– or even organized together to attempt to create some cohesion and meaning.

More about Meaghan and Angie
We are best friends! And partners (in business, not in oral pleasure)
Meaghan works for the Australian Consulate (where she met Thor, but will not allow Angie to post a photo) and Angie works at a Community College as a Writing Tutor and Student Instructor. She doesn’t understand that this is a sort of boring fact and frequently discusses argument structure at parties…. effectively scaring away all the interesting people.
We love these things!
and these things:
We think art is incredible and we love to share it and discuss it with each other and you.

“September 2012” by Alison McPherson
Alison and I bonded over our obsession with incorporating breasts and penises into our artwork. We also bonded over the feeling of subtle horniness & extreme emptiness incited by Mad Men.
