Poetry. Chantry is song. Chantry is song that exceeds song structure in all dimensions to become invocation and enchantment. From "the vessel without a cover" to "late silhouette in / blue" it refuses to be contained, as a book wants to live outside its covers. Sing this: "linger so this grace of grace," yet sing it so that "the door cracks in so many different directions." It is in these cracks, these interstices, that Elizabeth Treadwell finds and makes song, and the song exceeds and excels. Elizabeth Treadwell is the Executive Director of Small Press Traffic in San Francisco.
