Poetry. Winner of the 2006 Slapering Hol Press Chapbook Competition. These poems envision art-making as a struggle for liberation: a material struggle with the resistance of the very materials that enable expression, and a struggle to free the imagination from its subtle yet intractable constraints. Edited by Ann Lauinger and Margo Stever. "Painting and poetry have been twinned since antiquity, but seldom so eloquently as in Mary Kaiser's collection, Falling into Velazquez. Poem after poem pulls us into a work of art--some famous, some not--and then out into our own lives again....Mary Kaiser's luminous first collection delights from beginning to end"--Peter Meinke.
