David Budbill Kathryn Stripling Byer Mark DeFoe David McAleavey ... Ronald Wallace Kathryn Stripling Byer HER PORCH Here she would pour out her hair from her Sunday hat and sit rocking the sermon away, looking deep into shade beyond fingerleaf ferns and mimosa leaves, wanting none of us near for a little while. Bread in the oven could wait, the blackberry pies baked on Saturday night, lying under a clean linen cloth. We could all of us wait, with our hungers she knew only too well: through how many prayers had she listened to each of them grumbling, the stomachs she'd feed when the service was over? Whatever she saw in the shadows those mornings when she shooed us out to her garden to deadhead the roses and sticky petunias, my cousins and I became lost in it, making our way through her jungle of tame floribunda while she sat alone in the peace of this empty house

reviews Main Coming to Rest by Kathryn Stripling Byer Louisiana State University Press 2006 Reviewed by Melinda Wilson Pumpkins for Absence Kathryn Stripling Byer’s poems in Coming to Rest are often indulgently sweet. The plush language and potentially captivating narrative are dulled by excessive sentimentality. The title poem of the book comes early on in Part 1 and immediately reveals Byer’s inability to let a stanza or a poem come to its natural ending point. The first section of this poem is engaging; the speaker tells the story of a mother whose child has died and obsessively she asks her remaining children to name their first daughter after their dead sibling. This compulsion seems to be what initially drives the poem into the second section, but Byer doesn’t allow it to do its work. Rather, she continues: Another name for letting go. Or holding on. Another name for home. These lines are redundant, over-explanatory, and worse, they are distracting from the provocative nature of the previous lines. Byer continues the poem in this fashion, with overwritten lines like, “I’m trapped in a coma / of middle-aged dullness” that evoke frustration rather than sympathy. She does manage to end the fourth section nicely, though the fifth section seems extraneous. The speaker has been visited by the dead child from the beginning of the poem whom we find out would have been her aunt. The speaker is glad for the meeting and refers to the aunt as “this dust I’ve stirred from/ sleep. This shell of light.”

fiction poetry : art : blogs news back issues author index ... support Four Poems by Kathryn Stripling Byer The Still Here and Now For Ruth Wesleyan College, 11/6/04 This fragrance I’ve never been able to name, floating past on the skin of an eighteen year old, still invites me to stand on the loggia again, afternoon ticking down into dark, asking What am I doing here? lost among strangers with hair more bouffant than mine, clothing more stylish. Soon I’d learn the words for what I couldn’t find in my closet: Bass weejuns, madras, and Villager. As for the name of that scent mingling now with aroma of barbecue served on the porch, it would have to be French, I imagined, Ma Griffe, L’air du Temps, Insouciance, not my mother’s stale Emeraude clinging to me from our goodbye embraces. Now dusk would be shrouding my father’s farm, doves mourning out in the empty fields. I knew my way back to all that. Don’t think for a moment I didn’t wish I had the courage to set out for home. But just then the sun set. The lamps bloomed
