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

New Lovers' Prayer

Let not love faded leave us jaded
Beached upon cold beds
As we hide from the pain that is etched
On the insides of our eyelids
By looking but not seeing
What lies in front of us
Until we ourselves fade
Into bitterest rust

Let not love hushed-to-grey
Lead us away - to seek out colour
Far from one another, lover
Forgetting that once we lay
Together and were grateful
And joyful
And separate
And did not resent
