their new book of poems
(with excerpts)
She
has forsaken the mythic marble nudes caged in galleries,
relishing instead the curve of a syrup pitcher’s handle
or the wedded arcs of a lemon resting on a kitchen dresser shelf,
the breathing sculpture of a hearth-warmed cat.
from Lady Emma’s Choices—Anne
Marple
Chaff and straw bed made up in the barn
where he lies awake
no southern whisky or feather-down quilt
in this loft in Kansas
from Winnowing the
Hay—Shirley Love
A
light rides east and west, circles the tin-wide ocean
is shaded sometimes in, sometimes not, by the tall and taller
buildings that shelter the streets like overgrown pianos.
Distant mountains stand dark, wrapped in their own shyness.
from An Illogical Light—Mima Pereira
Daybreak is never late
enough
I try to swim back to a watery dream
of lips and hands and pelvis
but the sky walks over me
from Daybreak—ellen
