Diffusely Yours - Kate Garklavs

Diffusely Yours is a love letter to place: public places and places of public defeat, sterile neon malls, night streets fecund with pigeons, dive bars, haunted kitchens. It reveres the back alleys and boxcars and diners of true discovery that now reside mostly in memory.

Diffusely Yours is Kate Garklavs’ debut chapbook. Its poems examine what the artifacts of location bring to bear on us and how we translate these gifts to the world.

"In Diffusely Yours, we "uphold the glittered, misspelled letter of the law" one minute and the next finds us "in crawlspaces looking for Gunne Sax." Narrative-driven and sharp-tongued, Garklavs' letters are haunting and taunting: we may want to believe "in our diamond future we are richer" but Garklavs, like a good prophet, tells us what's in store won't be sweet or sentimental, but "dark as a blot on a heart.""
