Autores ResumoVelar Moira Egan (bio) She said that faith is her anchorbut I heard anger. Fragile, fraught faith,bells and beeswax candles a base- less base, frankincenseand myrrh, common sense thrownout the stained-glass window. Those characterswe studied in the Minster windows, translucedas through a membrane, luteous. A medieval monk with spectaclesround like vintage Elton’s. Who knew that kind of vision was possibleback then? Her son a suicide, impassable the life, ever unableto translate love from the cradle to where he was. OnceI touched a page of vellum made of fetal calfskin. Buttery, as they sayin the trade. Disruptive to the systems, angeror anchor. Both velar. One voiced,one voiceless. [End Page 17] Moira Egan moira egan’s most recent book is Amore e Morte, a bilingual New & Selected Poems. Her poems and essays have been published in anthologies and journals on four continents. Originally from Baltimore (a proud graduate of the JHU Writing Seminars), she lives, teaches, translates, and sometimes even writes in Rome. Copyright © 2023 Moira Egan
