Porter, Dorothy

What is smoking
so languidly
on the mountain's eerie side?

Does real danger
begin like this -
with a picturesque distraction?

These poems deal with subjects such as life, love and death and their comparisons to the seemingly random behaviour of the heavens and the elements. "Other Worlds" is a groundbreaking anthology of Dorothy's work over the last three years.
