The Keys to the Jail asks the question of who is to blame for all
we've lost, calling us to reexamine the harsh words of failed love,
the aging of a once-beautiful body, even our own voracious desires.
Keetje Kuipers is a poet of daring leaps and unflinching
observations, whose richly textured lyrics travel from Montana's
great wildernesses to the ocean-fogged streets of San Francisco as
they search out the heart that's lost its way. Dolores Park In the
flattening California dusk, women gather under palms with their
bags of bottles and cans. The grass is feathered with the trash of
the day, paper napkins blowing across the legs of those who still
drown on a patchwork of blankets. Shirtless in the phosphorescent
gloom of streetlamps, they lie suspended. This is my one good
life--watching the exchange of embraces, counting the faces
assembled outside the ice-cream shop, sweet tinge of urine by the
bridge above the tracks, broken bike lock of the gay couple's
hands, desperate clapping of dark pigeons--who will take it from
me? A former Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry, Keetje Kuipers's
debut collection, Beautiful in the Mouth, won the A. Poulin, Jr.
Poetry Prize. She has been the Margery Davis Boyden Wilderness
Writing Resident, and is currently an assistant professor at Auburn
University.
