Thanks to Michael Meyerhofer and Atticus Review for this feature of poems from my upcoming book, Field Guide to the End of the World. I hope you enjoy this “sneak preview!”
I’ve been a little under the weather since the Skagit Poetry Festival but managed to try and get a little inspiration. The Woodinville Lavender farm has one field that just came into bloom – no bees yet, just the sweet clean smell of little purple flowers (and lavender lemonade in the accompanying shop!)
After a doctor’s appointment downtown I got a chance to stop by Open Books and then to a quick tour of the Pioneer Square Art Walk, to my old favorite gallery, Roq La Rue. They had a new one-artist show up by Meghan Howland called “Your Magic is Real.” This was the piece I liked the best – a woman who seems to breaking through a wall of wings called “Forager.” Sadly, Roq La Rue is closing on September 1, so if you get a chance to visit before then, do it – they have two more shows to go before that.
