MEMORY OF A LARGER MIND​
Written in collaboration with glaciers, these luminous poems are elegies and love songs, celebrations and laments. As our world moves from ice to water, these poems move, too: cycling from grief to love to joy and back again, asking how to withstand and how to transform.​
Composed of plein-air poems written outdoors with glaciers, these poems are illuminated by shifts of light, wind, sound, and scent, alive to our current moment with one foot in geologic time. These poems remind us that all bodies are dynamic, always in a process of transformation.

Both a poet and a visual artist, Molnar’s work focuses on memory — planetary, cultural, familial, and personal. This book is part of a larger project in which she explores the histories and futures of “sacrifice zones” (clear cuts, concentration camps, dying glaciers). In these places, she gathers flowers, rocks, waters, and bones, and she writes. In her studio, she transmutes these foraged materials into pigments for her art and memories for her writing. Vessels of transformation are the result — works of visual and literary art in which grief might shift to love, difficult pasts to more peaceful futures.​
