Nape

by Jan Seale

Jan Seale writes lyric poetry with a gift of intimacy, wrapping readers in rich, absorbing scenes and seeing. The sense of invitation in her poems-welcome to this moment, this perception, this life-is openhearted and abundant. Her language unfurls deliciously.

So strike at the nape of their necks and beat every last fingertips of theirs!”
