Always the Detail
No Customer Reviews
Always the Detail represents the nuances of relationships. Barbara Schmitz writes about daily life, bringing to life such intricate encounters as animals and plants, mineral and liquids. Schmitz leaves no stone unturned. With beautiful imagery and astounding cadences, Schmitz comes to life in her poetry. AFTER MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL All the other mourners are off to the funeral lunch of ham, scalloped potatoes and church-lady cake. Only me and my husband with my brother in the still bare spring cemetery sharing a joint in his white Corvette. Out of the shadows the gaunt-cheeked priest appears in his surplice and cassock proceeding in slow procession to my Grandma still perched there above her wide-mouthed grave. He pats her casket, recites his tender farewell, "Goodbye, Old Girl" and drifts away like a last leaf left after winter's brutal sweep.
