Permission

Permission,  softcover book by local author Mary GreenBook description:Permission begins with childhood, a bare feet paradise marred by family dysfunction and blurred boundaries. It is a "prayer in a birch canoe" blending mountain and sea, long liquid moments torn by horrors of Biker Barbies, exploding skylines and a planet out of control. Its images are fast, fluid and audible as flies sneeze, radios keen and bones declare. Greene plays with form, using space like sand, sweeping grains aside to frame images. Some poems form acrostic triptychs; others appear aleatoric; some flow in cycles - all underscoring sound, meaning and, ultimately, understanding. Throughout, there are breathless moments that stun the senses.
