Rhizome Post #1 | Ashleigh Word
In Stranger Than Wal-Mart: Images Tina Coleman, Tina's first image speaks of a beautiful moon, in the presence of clouds.
When I read this post, this specific image, I could see what she spoke of as if I were standing outside viewing it for myself. The statement was so simple, created an image so vivid I could see it as well as feel the calming emotion I get when I gaze up at the night sky: the feeling that everything in the world is right, and the chaos has momentarily subsided.
To have others relate to my writing as I did to Tina's would be amazing. Others need to be able to relate to what I am writing. Perhaps I'll write it for its calming effect, but even if the reader interprets it with some different emotion, as long as I am able to evoke an emotion (providing it is not one associated with mental instability), I have been successful.
