Fall Equinox
Cobalt clear sky, brisk air greets morning eyes.
Glistening dew on asparagus ferns
suspends like frost, crystallized.
Thistledown on daughter’s cheek,
“soft” she whispers.
Summer heat settles, blows away with leaves.
Green fades slow yellow, slips into bronze.
Flowers are persistent celosia magentas,
meadows of goldenrod, harvest spectrums.
We hike dry creek beds,
sandstone, fallen boulders
while ferns and mosses crawl moist on cliffs,
in coves sheltered from autumn crisp.
We share a small fire built warm at dusk
one gift of log at a time.
Eyelash of a moon
glimmers through trees,
perched on edges of bluffs,
balanced by Equinox magic.

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.
