Today Poetry Northwest published my poem, “Bone Above Our Heart,” as their weekly online poem. My heart is running around its living room, waving its arms, smashing into things, getting up, and running around some more! This was the first of the long poems I started writing a couple years ago. I drafted it during one summer’s travels in a little homemade notebook made for the purpose, alternating verse fragments with overheard bits of speech in Martha’s Vineyard, Paul Smith’s College, Block Island, Hartford CN, a home recording made by James Tate, a Costco parking lot, Lowe’s Lawn & Garden, and my own backyard. I hope you’ll enjoy it.
