I would stand affront, empty, speechless on my linoleum floor. I learn his language and repeat it back to him.  He scoffs. Disappears for days. The roots intertwine now  beneath our feet  that no matter the pull,  the push, it's just useless  thrashing about because all I can  remember that day as I stood there frozen  looking do...

Brommel You can’t explain to friends from home how the desert makes it better, but you try: Imagine a heat so dry that it presses down into the earth, releasing its scent so that it takes on the comforting smell of clay pots in your grandmother’s kitchen when you were a child, or your hideout under the evergreens where you used to sit for hours smelling only the dirt, the sap, the pine. Imagine a smell that reminds you of the kitchen on holidays: sage, rosemary, and something you chase that is reminiscent of honey, but feels like love. Some people still fight it....

http://yourartsygirlpodcast.com/episodes http://susanahcase.com Susana reads from her book: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZIyObZ_PToo http://broadstonebooks.com/ Susana_H_Case.html The poems in this collection are inspired by the ways in which gender (and sometimes other divisions) creates opportunities for both victimization and survival. A theme woven throughout is the tension between being objectified and being human. There are three sections. The first section is organized around the idea of the stereotype of the living doll, and rebellion against that concept. The middle section, an ekphrastic section, is inspired by the life and the nutshell studies, crime model constructions, of Frances Glessner Lee, "mother of modern forensics," and includes some black and white images that are in the public domain. The third section, which includes the title poem, focuses more fully on the negative effects of objectified existences. Bio: Susan...
