Inhaltsangabe

Poems written outdoors, in the presence of disappearing glaciers―a book of memory, grief, and transformation.

In her new poetry collection, Memory of a Larger Mind, Daniela Naomi Molnar sifts through memory and layered loss―planetary, cultural, familial, and personal―asking how we withstand and how we transform. These are plein air poems, written outdoors in the presence of disappearing glaciers and composed with shifting light, wind, sound, and scent: elegies and love songs, celebrations and laments. Braiding the slow death of glaciers with her grandmother's survival of the Holocaust, the book holds ecological and ancestral loss in a single frame. Alive to our current moment while keeping one foot in geologic time, Molnar exposes genocide and ecocide as expressions of the same logic, the same movement: ice to water to light, grief to love to joy to grief.

Memory of a Larger Mind is part of a larger interdisciplinary project that gathers pigments, language, and memory from “sacrifice zones”―glaciated landscapes, former concentration and incarceration camps, desecrated sacred sites―and transforms them into poems, paintings, and films. The result is work in which all bodies are understood as dynamic, part of a world in which difficult pasts might open toward more peaceful futures, and in which grief, handled with care, might shift to love.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Daniela Naomi Molnar is a poet and artist who creates with color, water, language, and place. Her art centers on memory―planetary, cultural, familial, and personal. She works with pigments she makes from plants, bones, stones, and specific waters such as rainwater and glacial melt; her poems and essays are created alongside the visual art; the practices overlap and influence each other. Her debut book CHORUS won the 2024 Oregon Book Award for Poetry, followed by PROTOCOLS: An Erasure, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. She lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where the forest meets the city.
