I know I have been inactive on my Featherheart Blog for such a long time; but, I had to share my good news. My first, full-length, poetry collection is available to purchase in bookstores everywhere: “Daybreak and Deep,” (Kelsay Books, 2022) was named a finalist in the American Book Fest, Best Books of 2022 for Narrative Poetry. Thanks for taking a look!
Spring Snow (In the Next Galaxy, Copper Canyon Press, 2002)
Rain of remembering;
late snow turning to rain.
Then in the cold house,
alone in bed,
the soft stutter on the roof,
random phrases; your voice,
only your voice. How can
it be that voice that touched
me everywhere?
And what you said,
if only I could hear it again
in its intensity.
Essence distilled
in the moment of waking,
the delicate mold and odors
of the breaking apart of winter,
in the soft snow that comes
between the past and the chill
distillation, the whisper of air
split between the perfume
of melting crystals; the clasp
and letting go.
