Weight Of Light is a showcase of poetry by Su Smallen who draws upon diverse sources of inspiration ranging from physics and biology, to visual art and dance, to nature and Buddhism. Not to be missed is Smallen's lyric lyric, in ancient Greece, a poem accompanied by a musical instrument, usually a lyre. Although the word is still often used to refer to the songlike quality in poetry, it is more generally used to refer to any short poem that expresses a personal emotion, be it a  essay, "On Poetry" which is her reflection on writing poetry. The Laurel Poetry Collective is a group of twenty-three poets and graphic artists living in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area who are dedicated to publishing beautiful and affordable books, chapbooks, and broadsides. Weight Of Light is their best effort to date. After You, First Snow: Letters filling in/as if dog angels raced through,/tipping trays of type,/Goudy mixing Garamond,/mailing with least gravity//to rag paper Noun 1. rag paper - paper made partly or wholly from rags
writing paper - paper material made into thin sheets that are sized to take ink; used for writing correspondence and manuscripts
, earth,/your neighborhood, your yard, now/a ghost-pressed broadside/without pawprint flowers, still,/your boundless joy, that playbow.
