Poetry. After the day's amazement, / the insults and stupidities, / it's all right to sing this tired song, / to gulp the cold wine down. // You are there now, I imagine, / in a place barely stapled down / with fences, in a landscape of sky. / All we know is what escapes us (Saskatchewan). The lyrical confessionals of ICEWATER advance through understatement, freezing (rather than burning) their way into the mind. Jim Shugrue lives in Portland, Oregon, where he is coeditor, with Lisa Steinman, of HUBBUB magazine. Saddlestitched chapbook.
