Trio: Poetrylandia 4

by Karla Huston, Ellaraine Lockie, Connie Post

Trio, poetry by Karla While I write about many subjects, inherent in many of my poems is the desire to write from voices of those without voices. My poems definitely have a feminine/ feminist slant. The poems I’ve collected here are poems about mothers and daughters, those historical and mythical women who have come before me. Exploring aging and sexuality for the older woman is important me. I addition, I rely on memory as a stimulus for poems. By writing from my mother’s generation, I have a greater understanding of where I am in the larger scheme of things. Ellaraine In preparing this short collection of poems to reflect the foci of my life, I thought about what is most important to me right now. I realized how different the list would have been in my earlier life, and no doubt how different it will be later in life. It seems the poetry we write can chronicle our lives much like a photo album does. Connie The theme of my poems is water. Water is part of our world, our bodies, our souls. At times there is too much water and we run and seek shelter. At other times there is not enough, and we thirst. The metaphor of its existence in our lives seems to lead to the roads of poetry, language of being quenched. www.WapshottPress.org
