The past two years have been personally to me the years of losts. Our son died and I have lost a good friend to an silence. So lately I have been working a lot of with the memories.
The memories can be happy or sad, soft or violent. They keep inside of them every human aspect. The year 2009 was my second year as a visual poet and I think in that year I made some of my best visual poems for ever. Between a window of my work room there's two winebottles full of cutted notes, memories, poems - they are not all mine, the bottles keep inside of them also something from my disappeared friend mixed with my stuffs. The bottles are poems from my memories. At the year 2009 I took photos of those bottles and also today I have been photographing them again (thanks to a great poet Gary Barwin who's comment to me at facebook somehow made me look those bottles again).
So the third challenge is about memories and their secret world.
Finally many thanks to those poets who has participated to the first and the second challenges. Your works have been very enjoyable.
I want to dedicate this third challenge to my son Ossi and my friend troylloyd, and to all memories, because memories are something that we are reflecting and what we are reflecting makes us alive.
