Abstract
Of Soul I Keep Margins Eva Hooker (bio) utterly free, feet shodfor grievous walking: all erasable footing, loose sheets of water, whiteletters (your mark) in a black field. I make preparation for the wake of breathing,costly, perfect spillage & stumbling. What if beauty is only a settling, a practiceddisruption polished to dangerous gloss? I set my foot down to keep the index of bruisingtender to its supple edge. Trace a wing.Listen for the long hollow cry of the goose. Eva Hooker Eva Hooker is professor of English and writer-in-residence at Saint Mary's College (Notre Dame, IN). Her poems have appeared in many journals, including most recently The Harvard Review, Salmagundi, Water-Stone, Orion, The Notre Dame Review, and Best New Poets 2008. The Winter Keeper, a chapbook published by Chapiteau Press, was published in 2000, and was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in poetry in 2001.
