Island-o-lo-gy : a Study of Islands
More transparent
than this water dropping
through the vine's twined fingers
my thought stretches a bridge
from yourself to yourself
Look at you
more real than the body you inhabit
fixed at the center of my mind
You were born to live on an island
- Octavio Paz, Madrigal
In my travels I have learned that every island is unique; like people, each holds its own mysteries. As I engage with the many possibilities of islands beyond the geological, I am pleased to share the ongoing, multidisciplinary exploration
of Island-o-lo-gy: a Study of Islands.
