Tower Poetry Society

is the name of a journal that has recently published two of my poems. it's a beautiful little book so if you ever see a copy of it, pick it up. or, if you want to order a copy, see the website (www.towerpoetry.ca).

here are my poems:

[an immigrant]

she moves
between

the front window
and the back

then back
again

her eyes fol
low snow flakes

her finger press-es
the glass

~
[the shore]

then, she walks
her black hair
cradled
in her hands
heavy

she leans the weight
over her left
shoulder
her fingers
turn
it loose

and there
fell
the ocean, this
river
whose pool
still
a shadow of
her knee

~

interestingly, these are both inspired by tales. one from an east indian woman and the other from a stone statue in asia.
