I predict that AFTERIMAGES, Lenore Myers’ first full-length poetry collection, is going to storm the poetry palace! It’s radical!

#poetry #poetrycommunity #poetnews @lenimo.bsky.social

Cover of Lenore Myers' AFTERIMAGES poetry collection featuring the painting "Subterfuge" by Vera Iliatova: Seven women are pictured in an art studio. Crumpled artworks lie on the floor. One of the women stands on a step ladder looking out one of two windows. A woman in black--possibly the artist, is positioned in front of a painting in progress. A woman with blonde hair sits on a stool. Another woman in a pleated cream-colored skirt stares at a green sculpture of a woman. A woman dressed in a black skirt and peach-colored shirt walks with a portfolio under her right arm. Another woman is hunched over a drawing board. A woman in grey appears to be sketching on a drawing pad.

The poem "Mother, 1975" by Lenore Myers. Mother, 1975 She’s looking at the camera, mostly—eyes slightly shifted to something just outside the frame. She said it was me, but we don’t see me, just a pile of leaves. Did my father try to capture the half-glance (sensing the something) the soft pink slip of eye—the divided moment of her?

Black and white photo of poet Lenore Myers gazing into the near distance, arms folded across her chest.

"Courage is Latin for Heart," a gorgeous poem he wrote especially for the occasion. The event finished off with a "barbaric yawp" where the entire gathering howled our discontent & anguish. A perfect, unparalleled day of deep connection & community. #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #poetnews #EndICE
