Got Ashley Opheims new book in the mail today. Its beautiful inside and out. Some resonating excerpts from the first couple poems: I am trying to find the space between inhaling and exhaling. I am not a tree and probably wont be one in my next life. I am so sad and so happy that every second is a new possibility. The past is only beautiful for those who werent present. I am drawn to the holes in things. Our habits are future artifacts. Soon our futures will be habitual artifacts. Our artifacts will replace us. One time I wanted to reach out to god, so I stuck my labtop as far into the sky as my arms could reach. Death is something that happens to other people. If I have to identify myself now, it will be impossible. If I have to identify myself it will only be based on what Im not. Maybe there is no inside and outside. All the things youve lived now live inside of you. Our minds are constantly filled so that we never reach the bottom. The present is only beautiful to those who are present.
