I've been away from the computer for a bit and in the garden instead. The first red tomato a couple days ago. Shooting stars. Sleeping outside under the night sky, awakening to dew and flowers, roosters crowing--and I learned that the duck quacks good morning just like the rooster crows and the birds chirp. Makes sense, but I never lived with a duck before to know until now.
The basil is bushing out and I've been making basil hummus nearly every day, tasting summer with every swipe of Lebanese bread bursting lemon and garlic and pungent sweet green on my soft palate. Dreaming fully and knowing I live best with sweat on my brow and neck, I crawl on my knees pulling weeds as a form of prayer.

Embodying Vulnerable Resistance as a Strategy of Hope
Greetings...
- Diana Tigerlily
- I'm a feminist poet and performance artist. I'm a midwife of words and dreams. My intentions are to raise awareness and offer hope for a better world. I embrace a transnational, ecofeminist performance poetics that includes my full-length one-person show, Depleting Patriarchy, addressing the global impacts of depleted uranium on human bodies and earth bodies. My dissertation is a feminist autoethnography of possibility that puts on display stories of homeplace to reveal vulnerable resistance as a transformative strategy towards global justice. My poetry has been published in We’Moon: Gaia Rhythms for Womyn; Art of Survival: Women, Healing, and the Arts; and Radio-Free Boskydell: a Literary Magazine for Southern Illinois. I hold a Ph.D. in Performance Studies from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Department of Communication Studies; a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies; and a Master of Arts degree in English.
