I'll See You Thursday

Shapiro, Myra

Ally Pr

I bow down to the astonishing, utterly powerful poems of Myra Shapiro. Having always loved her voice, and now encountering it further along the path, is a gift beyond measure. Life and beauty, death and its mysterious music—like a perpetual humming beneath all our exacting movements—the diminishment and death of her very beloved partner—the exquisite heartbreaking dailiness of days—and dreams for the women of our own histories as well as the far-off, equally deserving women of Gaza—why not? “O world askew!” Shapiro sings. She’s a master.\n—Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People’s Poet Laureate, Poetry Foundation\nMyra Shapiro’s fourth book begins with the death of dancer Martha Graham. But if you think this is a book about death you are missing the point not only about this first poem, but about Myra’s attitude toward death. The subject of this book is life and how death itself is about how we live it. From Myra’s birth, when she replaced her sister who died as a child, through and after her husband’s death, Myra Shapiro calls on and brings to mind the blessings that make life what it is. She savors life down to the last teaspoon.\n—Fran Quinn, Poet, Editor, and Teacher

Cultural Writing. Biography and Memoir. Poetry. FOUR SUBLETS is the story of a woman in love with poetry, the poetic life, and the things she did for love. Shapiro moved to New York City in her middle years, rebelling against her expected role of wife and mother in Chatanooga to create the life of a poet. Maureen Murdock says of FOUR SUBLETS, "The beauty of Shapiro's language and the depth of her wisdom inspire each one of us to find a room of our own. Give this courageous memoir to any woman you know who longs to make a creative life." Shapiro's poems have appeared in many literary journals including: The Ohio Review, River Styx, Pearl, Ploughshares, The Poetry Miscellany, Southern Indiana Review as well as several anthologies. She is also the author of I'll See You Thursday, a collection of poetry.
