Description: Spring Melt: poems by Katherine Bode-Lang. Number Four in the Keystone Chapbook Series from Seven Kitchens Press; runner-up for the 2008 Keystone Chapbook Prize. Selected by G. C. Waldrep:

“These are poems of deep quiet, meditations on identity and personhood that proclaim the physical world is all we have while simultaneously insisting there is, must be, something more, a dimension of human contact and fealty that transcends the daily tragedy and furniture of our lives. ‘Countries have fallen, and they have flowers / on their heads, a camera looped around / my father’s arm,’ Katherine Bode-Lang writes in ‘My Parents Getting Off the Plane in Guam, 1972.’ ‘This picture—the only love story I know.’”
