In The Writing of an Hour the poet considers the effort and the deliberateness that brings her to her desk each day. Despite domestic and day job demands and widespread lockdown, Coultas forges connections to the sublime and wonders what it means to be from the Americas. These poems verge on the surreal, transform the quotidian, and respond anew to the marvelous. The Writing of an Hour takes the reader on a journey in four sections; from a bedroom to an improvised desk over the North Sea, where she attempts to create an artwork inside an airplane cabin flying over Greenland's rivers of ice. The Mending Hour I tied one on, I mean I took my grandmother's apron, its strings and glittery rickrack and I wore it on the streets of the East Village. The apron is a cloak of superpowers, a psychic umbrella I paraded past Emma Goldman's E. 10th St. address, and rang her doorbell for a sip of water. My domestic armor is made of gingham though a woman is still considered an unelectable candidate. 650 0 $a Time $v Poetry. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Prose poems, American $y 21st century. 830 0 $a Wesleyan poetry. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302015701.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2834CC05B3C11ED8F2A915D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
