Open Slowly

In her second book, Open Slowly, Kate Light carries on her standard of wise, witty poems on living, loving, and making sense of the two. She takes a pragmatic approach to relationships, attractions, and the bodies that contain them. A classically trained violinist, Light brings an understanding of rhythm and lyricism to her work that resonates in her formal yet accessible poems. Her poems open slowly and bloom on the page as beautiful creations. Open Slowly; someone may be standing on the other side. Open slowly so you know you're swinging wide of them, and then step through.
