about

A dusty wind blows over the empty fields.
Under the February sun, the days
are very quiet, long and hot.
I have cut my tethers.
I am drifing farther
and farther away from
what I once knew
I am transparent
unfamiliar to myself.
i am made of sand
i am made of paper
i am made of glass
i am made of water
i am of the wind
i am of the waves
i am of the unseen
i am of the other.

lyrics

i am made of sand
i am made of paper
i am made of glass
i am made of water

and the sea has taken him
the one i might have been
and gave me what i am

Demeter has had her way.
and now across my gates
a constellation
the bow-man row me away
on the black-cloak horizon

weeping on wings of wind
widows walk
they say this landscape was built by men
and my dark ships departed

now the tattered sails wash up
and i paint the canvas with blood
always thought (in my youth) i'd
know love…

and the sea from which i came
reminds me what i am
made in her name

Demeter has had her way.
and now across my gates
a constellation
bow-man row me away
on the black-cloak horizon

i am of the wind
i am of the waves, sound
i am of the unseen
I am of the other

i am made of sand
i am made of paper
i am made of glass
i am made of water

about

Regan Drouin Northampton, Massachusetts

I make songs. I call them Voicings because they are a mixture of things that the word 'song' doesn't quite describe. I make collages. I call them Cartographies because they concern themselves with orientation, elemental qualities and ritual processes.

These works hope to dwell at the crossroads: phenomena, imagination, language, the ineffable. This is a divinatory poetics.
