I Was the Jukebox: Poems

â€œ[Beasleyâ€™s] lightness works best when it dapples her darknessâ€•and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep.â€â€•Abigail Deutsch, Poetry
The winner of the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prizeâ€•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€
For an hour I forgot my fat self,
my neurotic innards, my addiction to alignment.
For an hour I forgot my fear of rain.
For an hour I was a salamander
shimmying through the kelp in search of shore,
and under his fingers the notes slid loose
from my belly in a long jellyrope of eggs
that took root in the mud.
