Entangled

By Emily Church

Entangled is a collection of poems by visual artist and poet Emily Church that examines the in-between state of being a daughter and a mother while maintaining autonomy as an artist. Church utilizes metaphors from the natural world to guide us back and forth through time, recalling memories of growing up in Kentucky to raising children in present day post-Pandemic Brooklyn. The poems examine themes of loss, growth, change, and what it means to let go. We are consistently reminded, when reading these words, that the writer is a trained painter, accustomed to sensing the world in a heightened visual way. Color and light permeate the work, and interspersed within the poems are ink paintings created during the early months of pandemic isolation. The drawings of trees and roots enhance the idea that the author is both grounded in her past, while reaching toward a future.
