Keith Moul

Keith Moul is a poet of place, a photographer of the distinction light adds to place. Both his poems and photos are published widely. These poems are from a new work about prairie life through U.S. history, including regional trials, character, and attachment to the land.

“Sky Too Large to Know,” “Habitability” and “Once More Crouching”

A hawk rises on a prairie thermal,
its diminishing black shadow below,
its eye wed in magic to a single spot.

I step in to feel promptly like the prey,
wobbly with hypnosis by gazing above
me, a disfavored adversary to a predator.
