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
The night of the
eclipse
applying a new polish
the color of air
the bedridden teenager
recalls a book she read once
that explained why
fingernails and hair
appear to keep growing
after
the dead are
dead.

When I was an undergrad and just starting to publish, I attended a summer writing workshop at Indiana University. Hull was the workshop leader. She was tough on my poems in ways no creative writing professor had ever been before. They deserved it.
