a small handheld book folded from one sheet of Fabriano paper holds colors within a greyed horizon --
“So mountains are languages and languages are mountains.” Etal Adnan from 'Surge’
To live at the horizon becomes larger than mountain & sky
where poems reside
on lichen lined limbs within sodden forest floors on mountains, in valleys in between clouds and sky
color from the valley the greyed sky the pelting rain dawn dusk
Thank you Monika Sosnowsk and Peter Dudek for inviting me up to Bascom Lodge for a swell day of looking, painting and writing. Thanks to the dinner guests that listened while I read Anne Carson, Ada Limon, Thoreau and a few of my poems.

Mt. Greylock Residency Sunday October 13, 2024 dawn to dusk poetry reading 4pm
On Sunday October 13, 2024, Brece Honeycutt will have a skyday artist residency at Bascom Lodge on Mt. Greylock.
Honeycutt continues to be fascinated by clouds and the ever-changing sky. Seconds compounded into minutes often bring quick sky changes. Contrasted with lingering, long lasting blues punctuated with wisps of white clouds. And yet, grey upon yellowgrey upon orangegrey into pinkgrey can be both grim and great, depending.
Whilst on top of Mt. Greylock, she will observe and translate onto paper with words and watercolor the skyday. At 4pm, she will read prose and poetry related to clouds, including poems from her forthcoming chapbook, pink grey blue sky cloud.
Thanks to Monika Sosnowski and Peter Dudek for inviting me to Bascom Lodge for a residency atop Mt. Greylock.
