Looking toward release day with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social, on @somnimage.bsky.social. Here is one more clip from the video for Kolmar Park. This small park was dedicated by the city of Chicago in the name of German poet Gertrud Kolmar, in fall 2022.

Looking toward release day (with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social), here is another clip from the video for Kolmar Park. I filmed this in early February on a cold and windy day, and my first time visiting the park in winter. One more week until our release with @somnimage.bsky.social

Nearly 3 years ago, I went to Kolmar Park in Chicago for the first time, brought there by its connection to poet Gertrud Kolmar; I spent time and did some sound recording. Here are some stills for an upcoming video, and project soon to come with @waynerobertthomas.bsky.social

8 years ago i was traveling to a residency at Signal Culture, and spent a great week there. Not great was all on the news and in real places throughout the country that week, and I spent that time processing some of that through my experience at SC. I'll be reflecting on this throughout this week.

Today is the 130th birthday of German poet Gertrud Kolmar, born Gertrud Käthe Chodziesner, 1894 in Berlin. This is an excerpt from a video i made in 2017, featuring @jkbuhler.bsky.social reading Kolmar's poem "Farewell". More info about her life and work: jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/kolmar-gertrud
