At last, a mild current ushered the pale remains
downstream. In silent relief they watched it
drift away at bridal pace, bearing its bouquet
of decay....

​​​Quotations for writers


“This is a persona poem, told from the point of view of the chef, as the episode itself was. I enjoy writing such poems, speaking through the consciousness of people quite different from myself. I know this is a controversial practice, but it is one I find invigorating. It is meant as a gesture of utmost respect. I feel both interest in and compassion for the narrators I choose, and hope I have been able to do them justice.”

—Robbi Nester
