Poem by Susan Terris Roy Cohn Seeing Angels in America reminded me I knew him. Spring weekends in '54 when Army-McCarthy hearings recessed, he flew to Miami Beach to sit in the cabana next to Grampa Jack's at the Roney Plaza. I was 16 that year, wore my first black Lastex bathing suit, flung my hair about, and tucked gardenias from Gramp's garden behind one ear. When Roy and I were introduced, he mumbled, Pleased to meet you , turning back to the phone to issue orders and threats. His aide (each week a different one) would place his calls, then run in the surf while Roy 27-year-old body pale hunkered in shade. Although edgy and impatient, he had time for Grampa. To him, Roy was courtly, an audience for jokes, news of jai alai or dog racing. He'd ask about Thursday's pinochle game, who'd won, who'd lost, how much money had changed hands. At 16, I was learning lessons of power Roy already knew. His was temporal, but mine (I hoped) would be eternal, so I wore the black suit strapless, Fire and Iced

Click on image to enlarge : "If Love Had Wings" by Rosa Naparstek THE HIDDEN CHILD Susan Terris I was good. We were all good Dutch children — those of us who survived. Before the Nazis, Moeder brandished other threats — potatoes that would grow behind unwashed ears, rats that might nest in unkempt hair. Then jackboots on cobblestone began to punctuate days and nights. In our attic room, no soccer balls or bicycles, no tulips: and sometimes we ate dog meat to survive. My daughter asks about the taste. I say I don't remember. She probes what I mean by good: How good is good, she wonders, keen to quantify. Imagining me studious, parsing out days for later profit, she cannot fathom the card games, flatness, waste. She says I'm hooded, use time as a weapon. It is. It was One time, when meat was scarce, those who concealed us rode their bicycles past Sunday soccer to dig up tulip bulbs. We roasted them, peeled the brown, and ate them. As I chewed

Your great grandfathers understood mud As they slogged from village to village Peddling pots and ribbons and scissors. They knew days with no light, nights With no heat, years with no safety— Years of pogroms, famine, and loss. But still, you may collar their essence If, shaking pearls from your ears, You can know wet boots and windfall.

45. No Clear Messages, By Susan Terris No Clear Messages by susan terris. A washboard sky with cirrus ribbing the horizon,and he walks through the shallows so he leaves no trace of footprints. http://www.redriverreview.com/A55656/RRR.nsf/abe69a29501a6ada86256cc1002728fc/ef

No Clear Messages by Susan Terris A washboard sky with cirrus ribbing the horizon, and he walks through the shallows so he leaves no trace of footprints. For him, the past is non-existent: wind and sand no clear messages. He has entrusted it to her. She must remember why he bought pecan turtles for his mother's birthday and that he was always a president or team captain. His mind has erased his mother's lover, the screaming, hair-pulling fights, or how his teen-age sister showered on Sundays with their father. Instead of memories, he keeps notes. What he needs to do and what ought to change. Present tense. Or future. He thinks if he holds time in open palms, she will take it, submerge it, magnify everything yet filter it through yellowed light, as he keeps his eyes on the horizon, preferring her version of the receding tide.

Old Girl Takes A Skinny Dip by Susan Terris As the Pleiades rise and set, we are floating on the corrugated lake, feeling undulations of a forest of kelp and curious, darting mouths of minnows. Our mouths, too, are curious and our fingers. They probe, touching one another, ourselves in a timeless water dance. Suspended here, our faces and bodies are no longer exhausted by the effort of growing old. Now, lithe and buoyant again, we ignore the shiver of bat wings, sound of nightmares riding the wind. Above us, a fishtail sky with a black moon, and our full-fleshed selves hide behind it while their hinged shadows rise and begin to reach for falling stars.

July Susan Terris Morning. Dragon clouds stalk the sky. Snake uncoils on lichen flicking his tongue to sense the day. As wind shuffles leaves, I discard old myths, steep brown, edge into shadow, until I am the doe, alert to heat and shriek of day, who waits for Night. The marsh, an inland sea, shines in moonlight; wet bark curls witch-fingers from outstretched arms. Eager to prowl, I shed new myths, bleach yellow. As I chuff, my tufted feet crimp silvered grass circling the doe who can no longer flee. Back to Contents Printable Version

Back to Table of Contents Volume 1, Issue 2 Comment on this Poem Fait Divers Susan Terris Think not of fire then and catastrophe but of the elegant luna moth. In larval life, as caterpillar, it ate and ate, self-centered and greedy. Now after sleep, it unfolds from its cocoon, a delicate imago the color of a new leaf. From a distance a moonlit opium-sprite, yet up close, fierce of face, a nightmare, hungry phantom with no mouth, silent and round-eyed, helpless to change its fate, flying like us toward light, toward flirtation and death. The flame, quickfire and chaos a lurid struggle to avoid... because beauty snared, loses luster, loses all. *fait divers a French idiom which refers to the unexpected things that happen in an ordinary life

Behind her, fleshy fingers of ice plant and the gray-green of granite. She draws a name in the sand, but the wind rakes it and her untamed hair. Time makes everything softer, harder, and impossible to control. The child in the dune grass says the man is kind, though kindness is not a word the woman would choose. Dangerous, perhaps, mercurial. Or sad. Because the man lost his wife, the child says, he needs the woman to kiss him, to sit with him and hold his hand while he falls asleep.

52. The Drunken Boat _. For a poem by susan terris. by CB Follett susan terris, coeditors CBFollett susan terris Co-editors of RUNES, A Review of Poetry. http://www.thedrunkenboat.com/runes.html

To visit www.members.aol.com/Runes For a poem by Susan Terris by In the old black-and-white movies, Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney would get together in someone's garage and say to one another, “Hey! Let's put on a show!” The genesis of RUNES, A Review of Poetry was something like that. As poets and colleagues, part of a 4 person critique group, women who'd known one another as our children were growing up, we started discussing the idea of our own poetry magazine. Our backgrounds are diverse. We both have long careers in other fields (CB Follett is an artist. Susan Terris has had 21 books for children and young adults published.) and have reinvented ourselves as poets with intensity and passion in mid-life. At first the idea of starting a magazine was a lark — something we'd toss around as we sat waiting for a poetry reading to begin or when we examined someone else's poetry publication. We are, we believe, perhaps certifiably mad to decide to publish with no university or organizational funding; but we do value our independence. We began with two distinct objectives: (1) to print the finest poems we could find and (2) to respect each poet who submits to us as we'd like to be respected when we submit our poems to other publications.

But I held no China doll with cherub mouth whose red-nippled bottle tasted like gum, smelled like tricycle tires; so with stealth I stalked that Doppelganger. Patient even then, waiting until our mothers, voices braided into impenetrable strands, receded, I struck. Swift and vicious, I prized the bottle from that girl, shattered it on the pavement.

SPEC. CMS. 100 THE PUDDING HOUSE COLLECTION Compiled by Sarah Hogue The Ohio State University Libraries Preface The Pudding House (publisher and editor, Jennifer Bosveld) has been a remarkably successful small-press poetry publisher in Central Ohio since 1980. In that year Pudding Magazine began, and its publication continues to the present day. In 1982, Bosveld began publishing chapbooks, books, and anthologies: this activity has been increased year by year, with dozens of titles announced for 2001 alone. The poets come from all over the United States, and a few from other countries. One of the characteristics of Bosveld’s editorial work has been the wide variety and inclusivity of styles and approaches she has embraced. From the wildly experimental, to mainstream small press styles, and to academic poetry; Pudding House has included them all. The inclusivity is especially apparent in the Greatest Hits series. Begun in the year 2000, this is a project in which each invited poet chooses 12 of their most important poems and provides an introduction to them. Pudding House thus provides a useful cross-section of poetries of the late 20 th century and the early 21 st It is also distinguished by a consistent interest in what Bosveld calls “applied poetry”-which includes poetry therapy, poetry in education, poetry in the workplace, and, in Bosveld’s words, “poetry applied to the times of our lives”. Associated with this interest has been Pudding House’s on-going sponsoring of workshops, training programs, readings, residencies, and other activities emphasizing poetry as an important, and useful, component of how one lives and understands one’s life.
