Kyra Freeman
Little Spills and Other Poems I Cannot Contain
Poet and storyteller Kyra Freeman is like the little Dutch boy with her finger placed in a dam of imagery and intense emotion. Little Spills and Other Poems I Cannot Contain takes the reader from the ordinary to the sacred. As delicately as a spider weaves her web, Freeman weaves poetry expertly, intuitively, building a narrative of quiet nature and everyday noticing, to great heartbreak, an unfettered lyricism that is both vulnerable and compelling. Freeman speaks of the little match girl and the little match.com girl. Her background as a storyteller makes her poetry compulsively readable, as she taps into the primal nature of fairy tales imagery and makes them her own.
