Ser Serpas – Resident Artist / Tbilisi Residencies
“Poetry is as it was, split second decisions mean more that any meditation, what I am able to do in the moment with my arms, thighs, strength, becomes the practice. Constraints then come to mold the poems; in removing myself from harm's way via dispossession, I care as much about my body as I can bear, literally, usually on top of me, up some stairs, down a flight. I am refracted by the tension in these exercises, my wrestling coach taught me to lift with my legs, not my back, its takes practice, it takes an athlete to coax a story from detritus.”
