“You totem yourself, rosettes of kohl /
blessing your coat. / And slow, / your sea-eyes turn to stone”
// from the poem “ocelot”
The contents of this chapbook grew out of Delaney’s correspondence with another Pen & Anvil author:
For the past six months, my friend Melissa Green has sent me a single word each day—‘whorls,’ ‘tesserae,’ ‘hessian.’ These poems came from Melissa’s daily words.
Rather than being bound in booklet form, the individual poems gathered here are printed onto separate leaves of cardstock. This allows the ‘tiles’ to be removed from their chapbook sheaf, and pinned to the wall, perhaps above a desk well-placed in a nook where one might sit to read, and think, and dream. |
