Dora Malech
Dora Malech is a young woman i met when i was living Iowa City. She is not only one of the most beautiful women i have met but she is also a good poet. Her love of language and its contextual twist & turns makes reading her work a delight. The disarming simplicity of her lyrical approach underlines her sophisticated understanding of cliche and speech.
Before my exit from charming Iowa City, we had breakfast and shared poems. i was excited to find someone who had taken what strikes me as a wonderful take on the NY School and ran with it. It is great that her work, copies of which reside in a box in my room, is finding publication so that others may also enjoy what i have enjoyed.
In the most recent issue of Painted Bride Quarterly is her Love Poem. Another poem to be found online is Small Ending (Verse Daily; orginally in Chelsea). And for the very curious, you can check out her 1999 chapbook Inside & Elsewhere.
