POETRY
Blue Ghosts
“Kathryn DeZur’s poems remind us that the world is dangerous—and that it is safe. They are filled with the living and the dead, the wild and the tame, the ordinary and the mystical. The author describes the world as she finds it, as she fears it has been, as she hopes it will become. About “Blue Ghosts,” DeZur says they “sizzle and spark with arctic fire.” She could have been describing these poems.”
