In between dreams
slipping in and out
regenerating
visions cross-pollinate
minds eye
narratives speak
with eyes wide
shut
What becomes clear
in a precise moment
of touch
dissolves as a mere
fixed perception
with eyes wide
awake
Without eyes
we see humble
shapes cast on
our souls
surrender to
illuminated
sights
with hearts wide
open.
About Me
- moe clark
- Using storytelling to transcend our physical realm, Clark fuses her unique understanding of performance narrative with traditions of circle singing. With a background in voice, spoken word, and visual arts, the Métis poet creates a lyrical style, steeped in ritual and poetic exploration. Her performance vocabulary often employs a looping pedal to create multi-layered vocal structures of harmonic, resonant and polyrhythmic tones. Using these compositions as a framework for her spoken word poetry, Clark connects the spirit of sound with a drive to share in the continuum of the oral tradition. Her poetic songs resonate with the power to heal, to celebrate spirit and to connect with authentic purpose. Practicing spoken word poetry and song for over four years, Clark finally released her first full-length album "Circle of She" in April 2008, in collaboration with Calgary musician Chris Dadge and with support from the Canada Council for the Arts. National performance highlights include the '07-'08 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, the 2007 PEI Confederation Centre Alberta Fusion show, the '05-'08 Calgary International Spoken Word Festival and the 2008 Montreal Fringe.
