This is where I first began to look, first began to see, first began to read, first began to wonder. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> From the book:</div> <bR> <div> <B>Isabelle and the Midgets</B></div> <bR> <div> That summer, Isabelle, the French student</div> <div> who loved chocolates, came to stay with us</div> <div> Isabelle, who also loved wearing nothing</div> <div> underneath her blue denim jacket.</div> <bR> <div> I was hard pressed to come up with</div> <div> something memorable for her</div> <div> in our upstate community, until</div> <div> the Chemung County Fair opened.</div> <bR> <div> After examining all the livestock, including chickens</div> <div> we bought bags of chocolate fudge</div> <div> and went to watch midgets wrestle</div> <div> on a small raised stage in the dusty arena</div> <bR> <div> Barely touching the canvas</div> <div> they threw their muscled bodies headlong</div> <div> across the confined space with a clear sense</div> <div> of purpose and what-the-hell-why-not energy</div> <bR> <div> Two, then three, strong small men</div> <div> grabbing and flipping,</div> <div> bouncing, landing, springing back up,</div> <div> sweaty smooth bodies shining</div> <bR> <div> It was a performance that erased language and boredom.</div> <div> I didn't want summer to end then.</div> <div> I wanted those tough young men in bright green tights</div> <div> the French girl in the wild-flower print skirt</div> <div> and blue denim jacket to stay -</div> <div> Forever out of place</div> <div> Forever confident in their own skins. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Kaye Newbury is a graduate of Binghamton University, with a BA from Harpur College in English Literature and Rhetoric, and MA in Social Science from the School of Education and Human Development. In 2009, 2010, and 2011, She received DEC grants from the NYS Council on the Arts, administered by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, to develop "Poetry Posts", a collaborative community project that makes poetry accessible to everyone in 11 City of Elmira parks and Woodlawn Cemetery. The project is managed with her fellow poets, Martha Horton and Margaret Kasper Reed, under the name ARTiculation.</div> <bR> <div> Since her retirement as a human services administrator, her volunteer activities include coordinating Poetry Posts, historic preservation advocacy, and political activism. Kaye lives in upstate New York with her husband. Together, they have a large family of adult children and grandchildren.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>The Way She Looks Now</B></div> <div> <B>is a 20 page hand-sewn chapbook - $10.00. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>TO ORDER:</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id11.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ordering By Mail"><U><B>To order through mail click here.  </B></U></A><B>   </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>ON-LINE          </B><B> </B><B>                              </B></div> <bR> <div> From the US      <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="The Way She Looks Now"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="14-5"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>  </B></div> <bR> <div> From Canada      <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="The Way She Looks Now"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="14-5"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="4.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>  </B></div> <bR> <div> From Other Countries           <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="The Way She Looks Now"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="14-5"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="7.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>  </B></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
