A new interview with Maryann Corbett at Extracts, here. Check it out!

Their site, from back in August, also features, here, some poems from Maryann's Credo for the Checkout Line in Winter (Able Muse Press, 2013). Maryann's book is now in pre-release, & scheduled for release in just a couple of weeks, on Sept 30. Be sure to (pre)order your copy now here!

Cheers,
...Alex

Got mine in the mail today and have been reading it this evening. Some wonderful words to savor. A lovely looking product as well. Congrats to all involved but especially to Maryann.

Default Vintage Poetry

The challenge: how best to capture the painstaking craft evident in Credo for the Checkout Line in Winter

I couldn't improve on this:

Recall the coaxing curve to curve. The pinning.
The fingers teasing all into compliance.
The maddening cling and fray of satin lining.

The stay-stitching, the trim of seams, the turn.
The whipstitch as it cinches a final closure.
The way, at last, it all reverts to pattern.
.........................(excerpt from Vintage Pattern)

Vintage: A season's yield of wine from a vineyard (Word Web)

Vintage poetry, Maryann.
