what if I told you
to send me water
.
as everyone is
busy sending me light
.
may healing come
without parching
in a bath of light
.
as well as sipping
in all the water
.
I need to stand
tall once more

In Sickness – Three Steps
*
1.
winter came early
this year to me
and to so many
others counting
the dead ones
holding tight
to a thin opening
of breath whistling
almost in an out my
house old all of a sudden
2.
I do repeat I love you
to my self five times
at day more really
because it helps
my lungs relax
I feel larger
than life
simply
saying
to myself
I do love you
hold on tightly
3.
all shall pass one day
not today maybe
please not
today

Winter Delving
*
today too I went
to dig the winter
iced ground I had some
tears I could not let out
they were there like the
worm holes I saw
in the lumps I upturned
there are some things
I do not understand
about mankind
the worms were gone
hiding safe the dirt
just laid there perforated
all its holes not visible
before now looking up
to the sky under my eyes
.

Mornings From The California Notebooks
*
early mornings awakenings
one step after another
a habits that sets
me on the way
who do I meet
on my path
if not wounded
travelers
a shy roadrunner
without a claw
a shiny large crow
with a broken wing
and then there’s me
mending my dreams
.

Poetry From The California Notebooks
*
everything speaks
to me
of mending lately
I hear that word
inside
a practice very few
are aware of and
even
less know how to
I see ants mending
sewing
dirt to the ground
endlessly humming
birds
working the low air
other birds unknown
to me
reach out to clouds to
attach them to the sky
for me
it’s all there to see
as I lay beside men who
only
know how to punch holes
.

California Notebooks, Mornings, 2014
*
every morning
it is so
I’m given
exactly what I need
to squeeze life
found already
on the road
it takes some bending
that’s all
and putting away
.
oh forgetful me
it furthermore takes trust
withal much gratitude
.

FAREWELL (Luminesia)
Dear readers,
the project Luminesia online www.2luminesia.wordpress.com first saw the light with a post published on Dec. 22nd 2012. My goal, with this project, was to teach students photography, with self-portraiture as a first step. “Luminesia is a place, filled with light, where you may see yourself…” I was quoted saying in an article on the project published last year. As you may read under Project, self-portraits were achieved through the concept of empathy. The approach to poetry was called to refine their sensibility to translate feelings into pictures. They could choose from a vast array of poems on the site www.annamoscawordpress.com whatever resonated with them. It was a conversation on mutual artistic vulnerability.
This has been a very exciting project that touched and changed the lives of many, bringing a new challenge in both the academic and the self-portrait worlds. Along with the basic principles of photography, students learned the history of photography, composition and personal expression. Exercises taught them to go deeper into self-portrait by representing their emotions. They also learned to be an active part of a collective blog and to open and curate their own personal photographic blogs. We achieved a lot, I must say!
.
Luminesia online ends with this post but, what has started well before 2012 and found here a suitable window online, will keep on living through different channels and locations. It will be my pleasure to inform you of future developments and projects or you can visit my blog for any news.
.
It’s my desire to thank all of my students of the Photography Course 2012-13 at the Acme Academy in Milan – Italy, and all the readers who faithfully followed us. My gratitude goes out especially to the Operative Team who diligently worked on the posts. Thank you Anna Facchinetti, Mattia Terribile, Mirela Burcà, Cesare Pasquali. These students mentioned were always present and active in the vision I carried of Luminesia online and we spent long extra hours at school and on line to achieve what you have seen. They are also bringing forth some very interesting personal photographic projects on their own blogs. I invite you to check them out.
I remind you here that if you click on each name, the ones just mentioned as the ones showing in all the previous posts, you will be redirected to each personal blog of every student. It’s my wish that the personal blogs started with this project by my students will not stop breathing and that they may be followed with the same enthusiasm we felt from you for Luminesia.
Wishing my students and all of you readers to grow in every project you undertake,
my appreciation and sincere thanks,
Prof. Anna Mosca
