Cat's Tongue

Cats Tongue is the latest publication from California-based writer Kathleen Winter. These poems vary widely in style and subject matter, but they share precisely crafted language and this writers unique perspective. from Each Day a New Round of Sadness Islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are connected to each other under the surface of the sea. Under the surface of the sea something roils like a volcano preparing to explode. To explode sometimes suggests a solution to the situation of constraint, ubiquitous as fear these days, when stasis is a prize. A prize, that is, compared to illness. Cant wellness sink its teeth deep into me to feel acutely as a wound? A wound is what the dream delivers with an image of my mother wreathed in Hawaiian flowers tuberose releasing its cloying daylong ennui.
