The Compost Reader

by Karen Schubert

"Karen Schubert's poems begin in the moment in a particular place and time, without introductions, without commentary. But this stark present is gradually woven with reminiscence which, like compost, makes the moment yield its full possibilities. As the poem grows, the distance between writer and reader diminishes until we feel a bond with genuine intimacy." --Carl Dennis

The more I read the more I became the speaker. So glad to have worked and gotten to know Karen back in Youngstown. She’s a master of personal and universal language all at once.
