cronos devoured his children
Art By Jada Fabrizio
Poetry By J. Summerisle Wilson
and now we come
confused. the dawn
is hungry and we
cannot relinquish
our dreams.
O take
our reason with hardness,
make us soft as eggs.
don’t ask us
what came first?
or who are we?
our stomachs outstrip
sleep & reach deep
for the ugly things
inside of us.
call it hunger,
hot beyond this grief
that gnarls & nibbles.
let us fix our horror
for a feast before
we realise, before
the truth rises in
mourning to make us
who really we are.
Photographer Jada Fabrizio is passionately committed to story telling. She is an enthusiastic watcher of light and its effect it has on form. When she is not buliding sets in her studio or scuptling a creature for her photo stories she plays classical guitar and does freelance photography for medical institutions. Born in queens, New York, her formal education began at SUNY New Paltz. Where she studied creative writing and later photography at the School of Visual Arts And ICP (International Center of Photography) in New York City. Jada emphasizes the importance of capturing emotional experiences. “By not telling a complete story” she says, “It allows others to “feel” the photograph in their own way.” She goes on to say, “I want the spectator to look at my photographs and experience their own reality through them.”
