Welcome back to our final episode of the Divinations miniseries, featuring an ongoing conversation in poems with poet Sandra Yannone. I'm sharing my poem-in-progress, "Sortition," inspired by Sandy's poem from Episode 6, and by the Little Oracles poetic fragment "bone," part of the original Little Oracles multimedia digital installation at www.littleoracles.com/exhibit.
We talk about skeletal neomorphs and personal specters, jury duty in 6th-century Athens, lexical campfires, and more, and reflect on the project as a whole. Plus, Sandy shares another special reading from her upcoming collection, The Glass Studio: the truly beautiful "Oracle," a perfect series send-off.
This is our final episode of 2023; thank you all for being here! While we're on break, you can find every Little Oracles episode in the archive. Happy New Year, and 'til next time, as always: take care, keep creating, and stay divine! <3
