Daily Poetics

In literature and art memory is a synonym for invention. It is the life-blood of imagination, which faints and dies when the veins are empty.

Somersaults™ Life Archives
your life – full circle

"The genuine little details of everyday experiences when collected and curated add up to the eternal essence of our loved ones’ lives. Hand-me-down moments with the click of a shutter become frozen in time and our hearts. Sand between our toes. Tears of joy at the alter. That certain aroma from the back seat three days into the trip. The impossibly soft strip of satin on that tiny blanket. Fresh cut grass filling our every breath. The nervous first kiss and lingering last dance. Our dreams, loves, fears, triumphs and defeats captured in sights, sounds and words to be relived for generations. Somersaults™ Life Archives collects and protects all of your moments and memories in artfully produced products designed to make sure your loved ones’ lives come full circle." -somersaults

Title Quote: Robert Aris Willmott

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Title Quote: Theodore Roethke

No Maps ...

"Each of these stunning prints have been hand letterpressed by Doug, directly onto old maps of the UK! The diversity of these maps and the printing method combined means that each print is truly unique."

"And all the names of the tribes, the nomads of faith who walked in the monotone of the desert and saw brightness and faith and colour. The way a stone or found metal box or bone can become loved and turn eternal in a prayer. Such glory of this country she enters now and becomes part of. We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography-to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. All I desired was to walk upon such an earth that had no maps." -Michael Ondaatje

When I look on you a moment, then I can speak no more, but my tongue falls silent, and at once a delicate flame courses beneath my skin, and with my eyes I see nothing, and my ears hum, and a wet sweat bathes me, and a trembling seizes me all over

"a ‘slider’ made of ivory or bone, containing specimens held between disks of transparent mica. These were popular in Victorian England until the Royal Microscopical Society introduced the standardized microscope slide in the form of a thin sheet of glass used to hold objects for examination under a microscope.”

I’d like to add the following: Antique microscope slides, looked at from a strictly aesthetic standpoint (egged on by a design obsessed brain obviously) are some of the most elegant and perfectly beautiful human artifacts on planet earth. You can quote me on that. See below for irrefutable scientific aesthetic evidence."

 

But a woman in threadless gold / Burns us with the brushings of her dress / And a dissociated abundance of being.
