Will Christie

Already well known to readers of Brief literary journal, Will Christie's debut volume of poems captures the essence of her inventive techniques and vivid image-method. She has worked assiduously over time to individualize her poetry, manipulating the resources of language in order to give voice to that which remained, until the composition of her poems, unspeakable.

I told a story

that was funny and cruel

words pulling each other

further out over

the comic distortions

are tragic in the flesh

images made real for you

by this magic

(from 'Black crow n')
