Too Bright to See / Alma Poems Linda Gregg 9781555973575 Books

The poetry of Linda Gregg has received numerous awards for excellence, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and A Whiting Award. To Bright To See & Alma combines Linda's first two books under one cover and will admirably serve to both showcase and introduce her literary talent to a new generation of readers. No More Marriages: Well, there ain't going to be no more marriages./And no goddam honeymoons. Not if I can help it./Not that I don't like men,/being in bed with them and all. It's the rest./And that's what happens, isn't it? All those people/that get littler together. I want things/to happen to me the proper size./The moon and the salmon and me and the fir trees,/they're all the same size and they live together./I'm the worse part, but mean no harm./I might scare a deer, but I can walk and breathe/as quiet as a person can learn./If I'm not like my grandmother's garden/that smelled sweet all over and was warm/as a river, I do go up the mountain/to see the birds close and look/at the moon just come visible, and lie down/to look at it with my face open./Guilty or not, through, there won't be no post-/cards made up of my life with Delphi on them./No even if I have to eat along all these years./They're never going to do that to me.'
