The Disappearing Cowboy Trick

By Kristin Abraham

Poetry. "Heavenly and dangerous at the speculative edge of the West, 'up to and including the time of the fire, ' between carnival and fairy tale, diorama and shoot-out, these deep matter tableaus tell us a thousand things about ourselves we haven't usually time or heart to examine. What origami spirit animal did I fold in my head? Did I hear my fate coming like the hero who 'heard the sound of his own boots on the boards moments before he fell like a beef?' And there's no end to the territory in which heroes, wolves, and Little Red take a risk. Abraham leads us out of the forest onto the high plains. She charts pain and wonder, which are sometimes indistinguishable one from the other, from us, 'two cahoots, caught in a swivet." Danielle Pafunda"
