Each section of the video poem is about an element: air, water, earth, fire, each four minutes long. The four video poems together create a haiku, sounded (with echo) and as text on screen with animation. With each element there is immense beauty as well as images of pollution.

This Yard (2023)
This yard.png

This is an ekphrastic film poem. The text was a response to a poem “Sedimentare” by Viviana Fiorentino. The poem “This Yard” uses the imagery of the “little cockerel” in a Hungarian fairy tale. At the same time, I got to know the works of the Hungarian painter Laszlo Bujaki - his motif and signature is the little deer that appears in each painting. It is his anima or spirit animal, I think, and this resonates with the “little hen” I mention in my poem. He has, indeed a painting that depicts a farmer and his yard, but I chose for the film poem his self-portrait with a cigarette, for I felt that it best represented the layering of what “sedimentare” (composting) means. So, there are layers upon layers in this film poem. 

This Yard is included in Frame to Frames: Your Eyes Follow II Poem Film Editions Screened at Fotogenia Film Festival Mexico 2024. – book available for sale on
