Looking Up the Down Spout / Ricocheted Memories

Words are a curious lot. Dog scarf sister pint - all dead static things. But put them in the service of a conjurer and they dance. Christina Quinns magic is her ability to choreograph simple everyday observation to have us experience these things as more than a museum. Exploring the dirt and the light of family relationships life as lived and spinning it all into a revelatory universal tango. The joy of a dog rocketing between conspiring sisters; the ability of a scarf to act as a time capsule or a pint as an anchor... Quinns deft weaving of memoir with poetry is a celebration of making up some steps on the way home.
