Thank you, Mary, although I'm really not erudite. I simply remember

Sarah Sarai throws her balls of erudition in the air and juggles them into poems that dance on a faultline between frolic and rage. What does “that strapless bra in heaven” represent? It’s a subversive, underwire, feminist image: breasts free of straps, comfortably supported, floating like angels. It’s also a lesbian image: a symbol of 

pink and lacy bliss. “Who wouldn’t want to spend millennia  / in a fine female breast?” Sarai asks queer questions and answers them in a dazzling milieu of her own creation. No one writes like Sarah Sarai.

Relive those parties where every bottle was uncorked... "After and Sometimes" #poem

After and Sometimes

Relive those parties where every bottle was uncorked and

passed around and everyone smoked everything, double-

checked each auto’s glove box for at least a Sherman or 

a roach. And you left with exactly the wrong woman who 

was exactly the right one, if only for less than twelve hours. 

And not everyone was anything, not white, employed,

focused. And all had self-righteous halos of wild hair 

imperfect as a precisely imprecise stitch in a Persian rug.

You had fun. We all did. It had become more possible.
