Katy
Brown Poem
 The
Stairs at Hexham Abbey
In butter-gold light
along hand-worn walls
choristers descend,
their robes brushing stone.
Used every day,
the stairway holds
the memory of hymns –
voices long-resigned to dust.
Here on this stair –
on uneven stone of random height –
the visitor feels
the difficulty of an upward path. |

Now out: Katy’s perpetual calendar, A Poet’s
Book of Days, featuring Katy’s poetry and
photography and inaugurating the new
Rattlesnake HandyStuff series. These calendars

alike, and can be used any year. |

Katy has also been
creating a series of blank (well, not really blank)
journals for Rattlesnake Press, the first two of
which, Musings1 and 2, are now available. Her
journals are collections of photos and prompts for
capturing creative thought in a blank journal
format. |
