I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
Animal shadows
stalked me across
a bustling
downtown
and in return
the bright, shining
noise
of that same city
haunted
my animal dreams.

Folksy surrealism. That's often how I describe my poetry. Popa has taught me a ton on that front.
