Emergence
I wrote this poem titled Emergence. The poem is based on the concept of digital identity, the way an individual shapes their digital footprint, covered in this course.

I really appreciate the relationship in this poem between selfhood, productivity, and motion! The Moon has come to be used as a metaphor in so many contexts with so many meanings, and portraying it here as a symbol of escape from criticism, something that exists as it is no matter what we have to say about it, is meaningful in the context of the poem and really gets at the heart of the Moon as a poetic meaning maker more widely. I also like the line about things coexisting, it feels similar to another poem you posted from another author about the coexistence of trauma and love, and I really appreciate an influence worn on one’s sleeve. The fixed stars representing stillness as liberation of the soul is a concept I find fascinating. The stars are in constant motion, so the contradiction between the aspirational sense of your language referring to them as the path to liberation alongside the underlying impossibility of fixed stars, and, therefore, stillness of the soul is so evocative. I also really appreciate that framing of liberation as stillness. Freedom is so often considered the ability to do what you want, which can make freedom into a demand for ceaseless action, and turning that concept on it’s head to make freedom something that flows from rest is really satisfying, and ties in well with the kind of relationships to productivity and creative output you wrote about elsewhere on your blog. Really good work! Sorry if I come off as just explaining your own art to you!
