The Winter/Spring 2005 Pegasus is out. Miriam Woolfolk, who has been editing this journal as a labor of love for as long as I’ve been a member of the Kentucky State Poetry Society, has put together a pleasant collection of old friends and new. I was pleased to see Laurie MacKellar in this issue and David Snell, my fellow Parisian.
Here is a snippet from “Gaywings” by Elizabeth Howard of Crossville, Tennessee:
A surprise on
the trail I
think I know
by heart.
Tiny rose-
purple flowers,
fairy airplanes
without tails,
hybrid hummingbirds
with whiskers.
The new poem I’ve put up this week appeared in Pegasus in 1999. It’s a summertime poem. I’m getting desperate here. Georgia Stamper says bad weather in March is a bit hangdog and apologetic, as though it knows it shouldn’t be here. But the last couple of days of snow and ice have looked pretty brazen to me.
