Ira Goga

“ In this piece, I stand at a funeral. What looks like a black funnel is wrapped around my body. Behind me, fire. The flames, flecks. Beside me, a tiny man as small as a peppercorn sits with hands folded. The Grapes of Wrath floats above my head like a thought bubble. I cry. Only a couple of tears, though, a dignified bit of emotion on the cheek. I accepting inevitable sadness in a mature way, a noble way even. She’s really captured the emotion, don’t you think, the complicated moment before pure immersive grief? This is what most viewers say.”

“The shadows of a child's hands in the dusk. I desired

to be given something. To see the design

pulsing like heat off blacktop. At the horizon, a mirage –

the sky puddled, wet and intimate, on the highway.”

Self Portraits and Conversation

“I live in a snow globe of language

Which word will fall on my head?

The so-called real world is more statuesque

than whatever’s going on in here.”
