About Horizon Lines
So long as I’ve been writing, the act of taking pen to paper has always fascinated me. The written word’s ability to capture our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and dreams in a series of lines is already a sort of magic, but the way that writing can also change our inner climate is nothing short of alchemy.
As a lover of sunsets and looking inward, it is hard not to gaze at the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet and not think of horizons when our hands meet the page. I’ve always liked the idea that the words we use are not only a series of lines, they are horizons in their own right too. The poetry of the “horizon line” as both boundary and symbol of freedom, as a limit of one’s “mental perception, experience, or interest,” is also not lost on me. Like horizons move as we do, so does the essence of what language captures. Writing may take us far, but it can only get us so close, and this is its power.
Horizon Lines ventures into the highs and lows of life, love, being and becoming in the form of poetry and prose. Here we will play in the spaces between ambivalence and intuition, reaching and having, leaving and arrival, striving and surrender. Here we will find a language for unknowns we’re aware of, and knowns we’re unaware of. Here we will find language for where are, together. Words may fall short of what we intend for them but there is power in what we capture and find along the way to arrival. It is the horizon in our words that keeps us reaching for more.
