Blogpost #2

Here I attempt to connect one text (my own writing) to three nodes. The first is the most obvious-- as the poem is ekphrastic it is inherently tied to the media it discusses. The second has one degree of separation from the statue of David, and two from the text itself as that node is the Bible, a literature connection that spans time. Lastly, I chose to connect my poem to the 2017 MeToo movement because I discuss the relationship between David and Bathsheba in my poem later on. The Bible node (and to a lesser extent statue node) both ground the poem in the historical past, allowing for the audience to easily understand the concept through famous stories and works of art. The MeToo mode forces the audience to reconcile aspects of the temporal past with the eternity of legacy.
