Rain. Rain from Baltimore. The ballroom floor
Is lit. See the gold sheen on the over- Whelmed grasses? See the starched ruff of the hedgerow? And the dancers are dressing. They tease Their toes into shoes. Tease their breath into stays: Stay the moment. Stay the luck. from 'A Live Dog Being Better than a Dead Lion'
Brigit Pegeen Kelly creates a magical landscape of sound-patterns, myths and surreal encounters, celebrating the mystery and surprise of creation. She is one of the best-loved poets writing in the United States today, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award and for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry.
