Description

How Many Faces Do You Have? is a poem sequence that interrogates intimacy, each poem a face the poet discovers, a reflection revealed in response to inner questioning.

In a voice of quiet sonority, these lyrics journey from a high-school gym dance to a  moonlit beach polka.

They linger over sushi in Montreal and an airline meal at 40,000 feet on a flight.

They touch joy and pain and celebrate the vicissitudes of love that goes “into the tangled heartland / where there is no trail,” as a gift of being.   A faceis such a strange thing. Obsessedwith distortion, Modigliani loved elongated faces like Tamara’s at a distance, a flattened oval, two black jewels.

Hepainted with a dagger in his teeth, they say, to see the face       within the face — grave, cold-eyed as Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt,whom I’ve always lovedfor her name alone.
