Six tanka sequences that explore spaces of (dis)connectedness: family, partnership, friendship, the self. "What keeps attracting me, what keeps haunting me, is that we humans exist in fields of tension, we are simultaneously connected and disconnected, for better or for worse. I can only continue to observe and learn, from my perspective, which is that of a woman, a human in this complex world. We carry misconceptions and statues and wish they would dissolve into dust. We carry ourselves, the ones before us, the future and the ideas of what it means to be a human as we simply try to live in the here and now - fallible and wondrous." - Kati Mohr
