Poet

ry A Classical Solution to the Transportation QuestionOde to the Seattle Viaduct

She’s lyingon her side draped in Greek linen the color of concrete. She flanks the waterfront, tides lapping her toes. She lounges her coldstone stare— not grin, not grimace—the curve of cheekbone propped on elbow,

no hint of heat wellingfrom a pelvic floor—in fact, we’re pretty sure those pretty thighs are carved as one solid slab.

We’re not clear what she desires, but we’ve got a hunchshe’ll get anything she orders. She lunches on mussels dredged from pilings, steamed or bristling, canned in cars careening

up and down her spine craving internal combustion enginesto vibrate her cement skin

exhaust dusting the spots where she shines—because horses once sweated, men once perspired to build this highway,

so she might glow with such gravitas so elevated her position that she tests the very fate she seals

as we dispense with all cautionand come hither.

Janet Norman KnoxJanet Norman Knox is a poet/playwright/performance artist who bikes via the viaduct twice a day and shudders beneath its mass. Her play, “9 Gs and the Red Telephone,” is forthcoming in Feminist Studies, the first scholarly journal in women’s studies.Visit the online journal at www.feministstudies.org.

In Its Baffled Emptiness

Used to be what you’d seefrom back roads was random bits of whatall going on

pig lot wood lot cattle grazingwhitewashed fences hay barnscorn cathedrals looping on and on

but now an open swath of roadravels away in the moonlightslow curves mown through the land

with ditches to gather the runoffcountry in its baffled emptiness lain open to invaders

with tumbleweed piling highagainst barbed wire till one windblown survivor spills over

Smith and Vallee Gallery…

Faulkner’s oil pastels render the Pacific Northwest scenery and surroundings with clarity and unique perspective. Both capture the area’s specific light and shadow, trees and rocks, marshes and tidelands. Veteran sculptor Chris Theiss shows whimsical 3D creations utilizing his distinctive black-and-white linework. August’s exhibition is a collection of landscape works by a small group of well-known Northwest artists: Gregg Laananen, Rob Vetter, Ed Kamuda, Lisa Gilley, and Ruthie V. This group of artists has consistently produced challenging and commanding work, and in particular their abstractions and perspectives on the local landscape and environment always prove fascinating. Not to be missed! September’s showcase of Tyree Callahan’s landscapes and Isaac Howard’s ceramics is a tribute to autumn’s golden light. Callahan’s serene and simple compositions of sky, marsh, and water reflect the estuaries and tidal marshes surrounding Skagit, and his sophisticated and subtle use of color suggests the changing season. Howard’s hand-built ceramic vessels and sculptures continue this theme of earthy simplicity.
