Items related to Not Veracruz
Poetry. This collection of poems written in January-March, 2006, in place of a planned trip to Veracruz, reveals Kyger at the top of her form--spinning light, everyday, observations that suddenly resonate with philosophical depth and political commitment. Her masterful freedom with form accrues visual power across the page in laconic, down-home notes on the septic tank, teenage horror movies, the neighbor's son, and insomnia. Powerful wit enhances the journey; she's in it for the long haul, and when she writes about the government, you want to pay attention.
