Mary Lynn Broe describes her poetry in “Introit”:

“Descended from Judy Grahn’s word-wyf
Mixed and stirred with Yeats’ Crazy Jane,
I write heartbreak torch songs, full of
Unabashed yearning. Also
Celtic rants,
Hard-palate swipes at academics’
Primp and pomp.

A brutal insouciance for graying boomers,
My poems stuff Kong toys with
lowdown elegiac strains,
Alix Olsen’s armpit hair,
A few belts of Nina Simone, and
Moral Attention.

No one hearing my poetry
Would ever mistake
Improvisation
For metric calisthenics.”
