Eir LindstromHolmy Biography

Dance. Poetry. Film. Motion. Emotion. Imagery. Eir Lindstrom-Holmy, AKA The Moving Imagist, is a performing poet, filmmaker, writer and occasional photographer Eir has been writing poetry since 1998, and performing her work around since 2010. She has been a featured poet on WOMR’s Poet’s Corner with host Joe Gouviea, and is taking part in the Mutual Muses V exhibition at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod in March 2012, a conversation between poets and artists. Her poem ‘The Flickering’ and her photograph ‘Nudelight’ were selected for the Hyannis Harbor Arts Center’s juried exhibition, ‘The Quality of Light’ at the Guyer Art Barn in Hyannis. Eir is also a narrative and abstract filmmaker, and the visual image forms an important part of her poetic language. Her poetry is the poetry of belief and doubt, of investigation, uncertainty, and the search for truth among the aspects. She draws many influences from the crossover between poetry and music, especially the work of Leonard Cohen and Canadian beat-box poet C.R. Avery.)

The Best Poem Of Eir LindstromHolmy

Embers And Puddles

We sit together, alone in a room,
and attempt conversation.
The first touch has not yet broken
the wall between us.
But it's like trying to ignite
damp wood with cheap matches
and we fail each other
and suffer each failure
while pretending to forget
how cold the world is
without fire.
Words are only stumbling blocks
in moments like these.
But the heat in your hand
as it runs down my knee
ignites something in the smile
that I give to you
and our eyes burn
as our bodies melt
our hearts, pounding,
break the ice
so once again
we can drink.

Deeply.
