Selected poems by Janine DeBaise (Click poem title to read)
Poetry Chapbook: Of a Feather" Nature in her writing reflects the quintessential rhythms of relationship: what we yearn for and what we fail to become. The ephemeral quality of longing rubs up against the enduring characteristics of something deeper. When DeBaise writes 'how ridiculously human/to think/we don't need/each other,' she acknowledges our deepest ecological interdependence where there is little distinction between what we are leaving and what we are woven into."
--Patrick Lawler "Janine DeBaise's lovely, bittersweet poems tell of what happens when humans of a feather can't–or won't–be together. This is an elegant arc of a book: like a wishbone." --Ann Fisher-Wirth Published by Finishing Line Press as part of the New Women's Voices Series. |
