Taking Pre-Release Orders for “Psyche’s Scroll”

Front Book Cover Psyche's Scroll by Karla Linn Merrifield, The Poetry Box Select

Psyche’s Scroll

by Karla Linn Merrifield

Release Date: June 15, 2018

Psyche’s Scroll is a post-postmodern epic poem that pushes at the frontiers of what is possible and invites you to participate in a woman’s psychosocial self-analysis as she struggles to move through and beyond psychological trauma. Become a voyeur of the mind in this book of sometimes bawdy, ballsy language, as well as sharp insights into human behavior. Psyche’s Scroll is myth making; it’s a love story with a geeky streak. It’s also a schizophrenic story: half raw emotion, half coolly cerebral—a story which American master poet William Heyen referred to as “sui generis.”

Poem of the Day (04-23-2018)

April 23, 2018 by The Poetry Box Leave a Comment

To celebrate National Poetry Month, The Poetry Box is sharing a Poem-of-the-Day, selected from various anthologies and individual poet collections that we have published over the years.

National Poetry Month, 2018 - Poem of the Day at The Poetry Box

Please enjoy today’s selection: “Following Leonard Cohen’s Lead” by Karla Linn Merrifield, which appears in Poeming Pigeons: Poems about Birds:

Following Leonard Cohen’s Lead

                                ~ for Roger M. Weir
with a line from “Come Healing” (2012)

Hallelujah owl — the great horned who-bird
of Everglades pines, magisterial, mythical

by Equinox Eve half-moon, come
to gather up our brokenness on silent wings.

Hallelujah black-necked stilt
skating spring Equinox shallows,

score of more on skinny legs come
to gather up our brokenness, banish the hunger.

Hallelujah storks, hallelujah spoonbills —
woodies and pinkos of Parotis Pond’s

rookeries, dozens abuzz as if come
to gather up our brokenness with procreation.

Hallelujah, birds — we fly, we feed, we breed
the wild, our imagination made entire.
