In the last days of my final residency of the MFA program at Pacific University, Ellen Bass shared the analogy of writing a poem as an offering of a pebble, humbly rolled towards the sacred altar of poetry. Although the poems selected for this first book may well clatter down the hill before they arrive half-way there, the act of writing and sharing them has given me a vision of the sacred space poetry embraces. The poems have traveled through seasons, dance steps, experiences and now breathe an Amen  - <I>So may it be </I> - and now rest in this book.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>All proceeds of this book will go to the organization </B></I><I><B>Women Helping Girls </B></I><I><B>, a program of the Greater Rochester Area Branch of the  American Association of University Women.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>It is my dream that all girls, particularly the underserved be given the chance to develop their voice and power. WHG emphasizes mentoring, a sense of community and positive interactions with peers and family and offers a series of activities and enriching experiences designed to broaden horizons, develop life skills, and reinforce the importance of education.  </B></I><A HREF="http://www.womenhelpinggirls.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.womenhelpinggirls.org"><U><I><B>www.womenhelpinggirls.org</B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> From the book:</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Who Are You</B></I></div> <bR> <div> Which sort of a body,</div> <div>                   some body,</div> <div>            any body,</div> <div>                   no body,</div> <div> a part of a body of people</div> <div> separated breath by breath,</div> <div> a soft curve of a comma?</div> <bR> <div> How different from the exclamation</div> <div> <I>Who do you think you are!</I></div> <div> given by a jury of voices</div> <div> arguing an ego's case.</div> <bR> <div> It's a sentence that opens doors</div> <div> to waiting rooms, wandering corridors</div> <div> until the judge holds court.</div> <bR> <div> Between the covers of your book</div> <div> this unanswerable<I> who </I></div> <div> asks,</div> <div>    reads,</div> <div>         pulses,</div> <div>             pulls. </div> <div>           </div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Calligraphy in Japanese Woods</B></I></div> <bR> <div> Say these syllables,</div> <div> <I>ma   tsu   ka   ze -</I></div> <div> wind in the pines. </div> <bR> <div> <I>Ma   tsu   </I></div> <div> <I>             ka   ze,</I></div> <bR> <div> a maple leans</div> <div> against a pine,</div> <bR> <div> tall, straight,</div> <div> holding me</div> <div>         slant </div> <div> against you.</div> <div> <I> </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Kitty Jospé  French teacher, art docent, amateur musician with a passion for language, people and all the arts.
