Dotty LeMieux

My work has appeared or is forthcoming in Rise Up Review, Writers Resist, Gyroscope and Solo Novo, among others and anthologies After/Ashes — a Camp fire anthology and the Marin Poetry Center Anthology. I have had three chapbooks published and edited the Turkey Buzzard Review, in Bolinas California in the 1970’s and 80’s. Dotty LeMieux studied at the New College of California Poetics Program and with poets Joanne Kyger, Edith Jenkins and Thomas Centolella. She runs political campaigns for progressive candidates, mainly women, and lives and writes in Marin County California with her husband and two dogs.

“trou au centre de la terre,” “Black Hole” and “French Lessons”

After the fiery birth, sodden mementos:
A cross,
A crown of thorns
Sculpted stone and paintings
The smell of charred faith
