Debuts the gifted poetry of Rebecca Lilly

You Want To Sell Me A Small Antique debuts the gifted poetry of Rebecca Lilly and introduces a remarkable talent for liberated, superbly crafted, memorable verse to an appreciative readership. Seasonal: Here is where it hastens here/in the road bend in the violets/the gold of the field's curve/incandescent, wind-flocked and fanned.//It slows in the lumberyard, the stacks/chained, the dirt road impassable,/it slows in a skeleton/in limp hooves in a tuft of grass.//These winds are the low field's winds, these stones/resembling fists, its stones,/unchipped, ever-clenched,/the sockets, the black joints and the snow.
