[Talia · Rating 4 out of 5]

...And a remedial embryo settled
in the noose between them,

Twirling her taste for the flesh of mimicry,
fracturing this world into persons...

...Friend, your corpus harp reminds me
of existance gone missing:

A handheld language in butter cloud fantasy
orbits the milk of human kindness...

[Sara Kearns]

If I'm ever 1/10th as prolific as Amy, I'll be pleased as punch. I think she writes about 100 good poems for every good one I come up with. (And I think she might write even faster than I read!)
