In Ashley Seitz Kramer’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eProxemics\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, it is evidence of going through it. It is also what now is in a poem. These poems don’t struggle with language failing and time passing. They take the difficulty of living and art-making in the now and show how a lyrical moment isn’t a framed one. How lucky are poems to work in the impossible now.

They limn the space between self-awareness and the flow of experience. They pursue emotional honesty beyond the point of disintegration to renewal. The speaker of these poems, like Dickinson’s “Vesuvius at Home,” enacts explosive emotions in crystalline language, showing how mindfulness makes grief, rage, and love bearable by bringing them into perfectly clear focus. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e— \u003cstrong\u003eLance Newman\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eProverbs of Earth \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/3028\/1251\/files\/Kramer_AuthorPhoto_160x160.png?v=1794572934\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-left: 5px; float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAshley Seitz Kramer \u003c\/strong\u003ehas an MFA in writing from Vermont College and a PhD in education from the University of Utah.
