Spring, we decided, was more
oppressive than winter with
its alyssum and clover
and the sheer weight of life
crowding us off the page.
– Maxine Chernoff, “Granted”
Listen to Maxine Chernoff’s 2000 Poetry Center reading:
What the body might guess,
what the hand requests,
what language assumes
becomes amulet,
which is to say
I am carrying your face
in a locket in a box
to a virtual location
guarded by kestrels,
– Maxine Chernoff, “Scene”
