The Politics of

A 338 page coffee table book of poetry, essays, and one-act plays, accompanied by original photography.

A collection of Kendra Muecke’s writing from 2008 – 2017.

Pieces written primarily in:

Houston, TX – Malibu, CA – Venice Beach, CA – Denver, CO.

It was a concept,

Just a thought,

To become organized,

not stuck between motive and plot

–so, I welcome you, to my hood,

——→My Writer’s Block

The existentialist decides to stop acknowledging her own shadows,

She then forgets to cast darkness

onto all sundials;

Timeless.

-—

Part one of me, myself,

remembers past intention.

I receive what I am,

and I sow of what is given.

Organically speaking,

I shall ramble on through;

pardon my bluntness,

but the truth is not suddenly new.

Patterns of my speech mixed

with the use of specific conjunctions—

Hell! If it were 1942,

I’d reap a paragraph of repercussions!

Sentenced to writing a dialogue

with no lines,

the text we speak in conversation

reflects the subtext of our daily lives.
