The State of Affairsin this small carroll town   on an up down crouched street   in a wood-boxed backyard   you’ll find four pumpkins my children spent hours stabbing & styling up for fun   they once sat side-by-side on the front porch for weeks with a burning feeling inside of thembut now that the ghosts have been traded for the gobbles   the welcoming crew have been cast out into a pile of warm compost   they are all slowly becoming disgusting   their slanted eyes eroding   their demon brows browning   their frightful mouths mushing   love left long ago   & that rise & fall fluttering feeling is just the pitchfork turning the pile   soon   the hackberry leaves will fall & cover it all long life desires...breaking down realitywe areall just pumpkins-Victor Clevenger

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
