CAM Look | Camille Jones Shares a Poetic Response of Whitfield Lovell's Visitation | 5/21/24

Welcome to #CAMLook, your twice-weekly dose of the Cincinnati Art Museum. Every Tuesday and Thursday, a staff member or volunteer will share an object from the collection and pose questions for discussion. Please check back at 10 AM for a new discussion and a new artwork. Today, Cincinnati Poet, Camille Jones shares a poetic response to Visitation: The Richmond Project, 2001, Parlor by Whitfield Lovell. My granddaddy built this house With his hands he stacked wood hammered nails and shaped resilience into these four walls Home My grandmama breathed life into each crevice hand stitched every cloth darkened her knees for every root vegetable devoured at the table and still left room for patience Home is where memories yellow the ivory keys and the forgotten tunes still find their way into your mindless humming Home where the smooth stride Granddaddy was known for now hiccups with the cane he must use but the letters are still here from great aunts and first cousins and grandnieces in Virginia and North Carolina and way up North in Illinois stacked neatly or fanned intricately across the desk where Grandmama will read aloud the latest happening in the family tree while the radio plays The Roberta Martin Singers as Granddaddy drifts asleep and night officially dawns Can love be quantified when its inevitability mimics the air in a room forever life’s necessity Living is but a practice in remembering in capturing memories for stories told in tomorrow’s tomorrow Life is love here So practice Remember and pass down your stories About the Poet: Camille Jones is a Cincinnati native, writer, dancer, choreographer, and book lover, and considers herself a film nerd. As a University of Cincinnati dual-degree graduate, Jones earned both a B.S. in Psychology and a B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing.
