Poetry. 1999 recipient of the Jane Kenyon Chapbook Award. ISTHMUS, a book-length love poem, explores the space where improbables meet, the act of possibility for two lovers who have come together from opposite sides of the Pacific. All the tenderness and tensions of marriage are here in that sandy stretch between the two land masses of you and me. Tthe ambivalence, the continuing invention of a joint life, the jokes (I try to say/the words you taught to name/my work but get the pitch wrong...so now I've said/the heart's logic is eating noodles.) Alice Jones's first book, THE KNOT, was published by Alice James Books and won the Beatrice Hawley Award in 1992. It is also available from SPD.
