Memory, the Minx, Repaints Griff Foxley

Griff Foxley's debut collection of poetry, Memory, The Minx, Repaints, holds the ticket for all readers to jump on board his poetry ride. After all, in "Pearly Curtain Call" he writes: "Everyone / is poetry." With his wise eye, he tackles the themes of artistic exploration, masculinity, and the spiritual quest of making a home in one's heart. Foxley's poetry muse embraces the grey areas that define what is truth and what is memory. In "Selfie" he ponders: "our feeds / like our histories, / want to be polished / and bronzed; / painting up a story / of promise, / with a boot / firm on the neck / off-screen." An accomplished poet, Foxley can be found in a growing list of visionary literary journals across the United States. As he reminds us in "The Just Key" "some exalting / needs out of me, / wants into you."
