I Was the Jukebox: Poems

The winner of the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prizeâ€•â€œfresh, crisp, and muscular.â€
â€œThese poems are fresh, crisp, and muscular. They are decisive and fearless. Every object, icon, or historical moment has a soul with a voice. In these poems these soulful ones elbow their way to the surface of the page, smartly into the contemporary now.â€â€•Joy Harjo, prize citation

from â€œThe Piano Speaksâ€
Â Â Â Â Â For an hour I forgot my fat self,
Â Â Â Â Â my neurotic innards, my addiction to alignment.
Â Â Â Â Â For an hour I forgot my fear of rain.
Â Â Â Â Â For an hour I was a salamander
Â Â Â Â Â shimmying through the kelp in search of shore,
Â Â Â Â Â and under his fingers the notes slid loose
Â Â Â Â Â from my belly in a long jellyrope of eggs
Â Â Â Â Â that took root in the mud.
