Paddock

Mary Lou Buschis second collection Paddock is a poetic palindrome. Two lost girls attempt to connect by writing letters to Dear a mother figure. They also pass the time by telling one another stories that sometimes conjure spirts. Much like Vladimir and Estragon in Waiting for Godot they wait. Paddock is best read in one gulp shuttling between Greek tragedy and lyric ellipsis...a poetry of hope desire and despair as the girls refuse to let the story end. Girl 2 Maybe the story has just begun. Here you will find enter into a lyrical natural world of image color. Hear a chorus of sisters. Enter the forest and the sea and be changed
