Pitch: Poems

With poems about loss, home, marriage, and the inner music of our lives, Pitch is a series of variations on an overturned piano. By turns bright and dark like the keys on a keyboard, these poems demonstrate the range of one of contemporary poetry’s most musical poets, a master of internal rhyme.

from “Overtures on an Overturned Piano”

. . . our hi-beams

played

across the gleaming bed

of snowdrifted bramble

where it lay,

moaning chaotically . . .
