Kate McNairy’s most recent chapbook is When the Cats Yawn has been called “quiet fireworks…expands ineffably and lingers long afterwards”. As a minimalist poet, she finds our beautiful, terrible world fascinating.
Neil Armstrong (July 21, 1969)
by Kate McNairy
On this easy night
you linger,
keep a cool head,
& hear
the moon sing.
