Absences Unfolded

Written by

Freewrite about absence, absenteeism, or absent things.

Start with real, ordinary absences, both abstract and concrete, then progressively larger absences, each growing in size and scope, even to the point of hyperbole, until you find an absence that feels larger than all other absences, larger than the world, larger than the universe.

Poems for Inspiration:

“What We Leave Behind” by Yvette A. Schnoeker-Shorb

“My Sister’s Baby Blanket” by Alejandro Lucero
