world, I use the lens of meta-
phor to invite others to watch
with me, to really look and
think about subjects like long-
ing, memory and regret. “
The epigraph to the vol-
ume is from William Faulk-
ner’s “Light in August,”
which says: “Memory be-
lieves before knowing re-
members.”
“This is the underlying
goal of my poetry and short
prose pieces,” says McAuley,
“to show nature and mystery,
to inspire introspection and
reconciliation, to explore
and question what we have
always believed to be our
truth.“
She is working on a sec-
ond book of poems and prose
to be released next spring.
KALA is located at 1017
Marine Drive. It is the multi-
use performance space of
