POETRY

ALONE – Deborah Ager / Writing in captivating style, challenges you to stare ugly truths.

Confronting the world’s issues.

A thriving economy, supports 200 restaurants, art galleries, theaters, and boutiques. Bethesda, located just northwest of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C., it takes its name from a local church, the Bethesda Meeting House. Here, Positano Italian Restaurant http://www.epositano.com/ is a unique hybrid in the heart of Bethesda, that lets patrons eat, drink, and be merry. On Saturday nights, you can enjoy a menu of classic Italian-American dishes.

With her poems she hope to startle and surprise. She want the reader to experience the familiar in a surprising way, because (as Plato said) “poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.” She was born 1978 in Bethesda (Maryland), located just northwest of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C. DEBORAH AGER earned a BA in English and a MFA in creative writing. She fulfilled a lifelong dream, when she founded a literary magazine that publishes Pulitzer-nominated and emerging poets. Her themes are consistent and diverse. https://www.amazon.com/Deborah-Ager/e/B004B0XS1S Her poems have artistic unity, because everything she writes was expertly chosen.  

ALONE – Over the fence, the dead settle in for a journey. Nine o’clock. You are alone for the first time today. Boys asleep. Husband out. A beer bottle sweats in your hand, and sea lavender clogs the air with perfume. Think of yourself. Your arms rest with nothing to do, after weeks spent attending to others. Your thoughts turn to whether butter will last the week, how much longer the car can run on its partial tank of gas.
