Also, I just yesterday finished reading Jill Alexander Essbaum's Necropolis. It's available from neoNuma arts and amazon. I love this woman's work the way I love reading Blake. And her readings are wonderful. There's an interview with her on the interwebs over here.
Here's a poem from that collection.
what we didn't
As the bastard daughter of the Holy Ghost,
no birthright saved me. No inheritance, no land.
You thought that was more than a little funny,
a curious kind of queer, remarkable as souls
in Purgatory and the dubious question
of their redemption. We never cleared that up.
We didn't manage to get past. Now I am here,
empty of flesh as a skeleton and lacking a face.
We had no child named Epic. We did not bother
to bequest. There are memories in the garden,
but the gate's quite locked, quite tightly.
A sublingual bitterness savages--let not this pain
be so present. Dead, it seems, in a difference
of opinion. And now I wait.
