emoemoji : Rebecca

Dan Boehl writes poems based on conversations, interactions, and outings he has with other fellows, their partners, and staff he encounters while on residency at the Akademie. This time: Rebecca Armstrong.

»On my first walk through the Schloss woods, I followed a patch of sunlight off trail and thought of a conversation I had with Rebecca Armstrong. Rebecca breeds moths in her home and cannot release them in the wild owing to their sheer numbers.«
