As a working mom, Pameticky notes a constant friction between the differing spaces and roles she occupies. Pair that with a need to build community, and her work is focused on the exquisite ordinary, the every-day blaise: the too-full laundry basket and the stack of papers that never shrinks; the wife that can’t cook and the mom that isn’t a good hugger; the seeker of god(s), both the little ‘g’ type and the BIG ‘G.’
Pameticky’s poetry touches on themes of anxiety and inadequacy, ambition and empathy. As a narrative poet, she’s interested in exploring voice and character through the lens of “Mother, Teacher, Friend, & Wife.” Her role as poet is to explore the moment, to capture the resonance of independent and discrete sections of time.
