Poet Profile

Adam Traynor

I've travelled some; am mostly self-taught; first thought I would be a naturalist, then a photographer, but I can't afford that. Now I see I want to work with word-images. I can afford pencils.

the long a of gray
the long a of rain
the shortest day

five o'clock ticking umbrellas on the marble floor

human remains the year a buffalo nickel

mirror the last thing they took out fading light
