"Hoover's poetry seems to me closely related to her music. We often speak of poetry as "musical" when in addition to the meaning of the words their sound has its own interest... These poems are frequently deeply heartfelt. They are also wonderfully varied."
-Leslie Gerber (music critic, poet, and author of "Lies of the Poets")
And so we began a
silent circling vigil
I, moving, pausing
the hawk lifting, gliding
then perching nearby,
a long, liquid dance.
Music, my love,
you spoke to me as a child
watering the desert of my heart;
beckoning with urgency
you took my soul
for your own.
Well, handsome, I guess it's
not in the stars but
I'll have
the touch of your suede
vest and the sweep
of your shoulders
to go
I took some leaves
a spider web
flowers, rain
I cut them in pieces
sewed them in strips
and bound them with
ribbons.
Running in the park
electric exhilaration
in a brisk wind
sweatshirts, ruddy cheeks and
brotherhood
with the fast and slow
