Fiction Poetry

β€œ[Beasley’s] lightness works best when it dapples her darknessβ€”and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep.”—Abigail Deutsch, Poetry


The winner of the 2009 Barnard Women Poets Prizeβ€”β€œThese poems are fresh, crisp, and muscular. They are decisive and fearless. Every object, icon, or historical moment has a soul with a voice. In these poems these soulful ones elbow their way to the surface of the page, smartly into the contemporary now.”—Joy Harjo, prize citation



from β€œThe Piano Speaks”

For an hour I forgot my fat self,

my neurotic innards, my addiction to alignment.

For an hour I forgot my fear of rain.

For an hour I was a salamander

shimmying through the kelp in search of shore,

and under his fingers the notes slid loose

from my belly in a long jellyrope of eggs

that took root in the mud.
