María José Giménez
This year my work runs along two main threads: How misperception and the painful separation it causes cuts deeper in these splintered virtual times. And the path that reveals: a daily commitment to see myself and others as whole. How can I re-member and re-cord what truly matters? Seeking moments of grounded beauty and deep connection has become a daily charge. Finding them is a gift of grace, a soothing balm. And learning how to honor it, a priceless lesson sometimes found in my own backyard.
María José Giménez is based in Easthampton, MA

I am not a woman
I don’t have
a husband
or children
only lovers
buried fetuses
and books

ricing
early morning sun
a moon on the water
tobacco, cedar ash
two hulls full of questions
in verse to carry in their wake
a drop of ale and maple
grace ripples the Oxbow
