Iowa Writes KELLY BARTOLOTTA I. Davenport Iowa laced between midwinter arbors & maywet fields her city's energy channeled imposing homes wear their mourning veils to sow her plains in repentance II. Shirley Berman she sculpted symmetries in bay window peripheries marveled the thickets followed, grasping she wore a raincoat to drain awnings envious III. Composite with nude haphazard lawns worship earth recaptures her fleshy chest |

The vastness of this state and the beauty of its nature have helped cultivate my work beyond what it ever was before." Her poem was inspired by a photgraph by Edmund Teske. |
