she does interpretive dance

by Kay Gardner

poets are said to bleed onto the page, and these sometimes whimsical and sometimes heart-wrenching inkblots continue in "she does interpretive dance." this volume contains more of the haiku you've become familiar with in "vertigo girl," but micropoetry and two-word poems make their debut. micropoetry is that very short verse you've seen in twitter and other such venues, and two-word poetry? it is a challenge, an exercise in contemplation, in letting your mind wander and be a partner in the creation of the poem. each one will be unique to you, and may even change over time, depending on your frame of mind.

I really enjoy Kay Gardner's poetry. In a world where too many people use an abundance of words to say nothing at all, it takes a special talent to be able to say so much in so few words. I find many of these poems very moving and relatable in a very personal way. Her two word poems are amazing. This book is one I will keep and re-read again and again.
