Jenny and Margaret's collaboration

This is the exchange and collaboration between Margaret Silverman & Jenny Overman. In this blog, you will see our work and an occasional sharing of our process. Every 7 days, Margaret sends Jenny an image and Jenny responds through prose and/or poetry (you will only see excerpts of poetry for reasons relating to the publishing world). Although our work is multi-layered, the underlying theme is Jewish identity. Visit our websites: jennyoverman.com & margaretsilverman.com

Excerpt from Dry August

I gaze at the map,

watercolor, wrinkled

paper rainbow pastels

sprawling across his wood floor.

Pin thin black lines

scribbled, broken

some jagged.

Dry desert

up for grabs.

Everlasting

longitude and

latitude

The entire planet is

paying attention.
