Title: Chalkmarks on stone
First published: 1998
Description: In these rigorously composed, sensually grounded, lyrical poems, the world is distilled with compelling logic - from her home in New Mexico to a canoe in Thailand to a Jewish cemetery in Malaysia. Like the matryoshka doll of one poem, Moldaw's poetry reveals selves within selves using a formal intricacy disarming in its ease. "Another Part of the Field", a long meditative fugue of 6-line poems uses the I Ching to explore what lies beneath the surface of each day.

Here, the poet's occupation is both to reflect and experiment into a poetry of grace, beauty and surprise.
