Hunger
Something in you
feeds me
like the rose a grub.
Something in you feeds me
like bread
cast on waters.
How to survive
the ancients?
How to sing new language?
Something in you feeds
me like the breast a child
yet milks me dry
and leaves
an insatiable hunger.
Something in you feeds me
so that only body
pressed to body
I feel full.

| She draws on her study of mythology, astrology, and
Jungian psychology, for a seemingly inexhaustible source of imagery. |

| Interviews |
| There is a quality in her work which makes all her
poems hers, but Zonailo’s style does differ. Compendium
is a collection of short, lyrical poetry; Zone 5 of prose. Each
book is an extension of her poetic exploration and a separate expression.

| Articles |
| Over the years of sitting in Grant's Cafe or the Europa
and talking poetry with Lewis Gretsinger, the questions have been asked:
why write? what are you saying? what are your poetics? |
