Christine Craig: All Things Bright & Quadrille For Tigers

The first is a single poem, which speaks in part to manhood ("what blighted our men that/they cannot love, that sex is/a hoe for planting seeds left/untended, to straggle up like/weeds till they too seek their/manhood in loveless couplings?")

A Personal Statement 'Coda':

This is all I have

all that beats in my veins

to seek, to walk, to lift up hands

to touch each dazzling note

all things bright and beautiful.
