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.

Unabashed yearning. Also
Celtic rants,
Hard-palate swipes at academics’
Primp and pomp.
Brutal insouciance for graying boomers,
my poems stuff Kong toys with
lowdown elegiac strains,
Alix Olsen’s armpit hair,

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