Three San Antonio Poets (one recently come to settle in Austin) will be reading from their new books. While their subject matter ranges from an exploration of often disorienting aspects of everyday life to world affairs to the Middle Ages, their poems share a well-defined feminine perspective. These poets are attuned to the nuances of the moment and to the possibility of transcendence in these moments.   Margie McCreless Roe has had poems in several anthologies and in journals such as Borderlands, Concho River Review, Gulf Coast, New Texas, The Texas Observer, and Windhover.  She has published two books, Flight Patterns and Call and Response.  Naomi Shihab Nye has called Roe's poems “finely crafted, carefully perceived.”  Retired from teaching college English, Roe now divides her time between Cedar Park, Texas, and Estes Park, Colorado.   Cyra Dumitru is a nationally published poet who has three collections of poems.  Poet Hayan Charara has praised her third book Remains for "its quiet wisdom; what's remarkable about it is that even when it looks at the horrors and losses of the world, it finds beauty."  Dumitru teaches full-time at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. Judith Infante has published her poetry and translations of Mexican poetry in numerous national literary journals and anthologies.  Love, A Suspect Form, which is a verse re-telling of the story of Heloise and Abelard, is her first book-length publication. Of the poems in this volume Wendy Barker writes " (Infante) brilliantly evokes the twelfth-century world of the doomed lovers . . . this is a highly original work." Steve Bennett writing in the San Antonio Express News calls the work "fascinating." The composer Jan Gilbert who is using the book as the basis for an opera praises the poems for their "fine balance between medieval and contemporary sensibilities." Infante lives in San Antonio.
