Rebecca Dunham: "Two Photographs"

The VPR Poem of the Week is Rebecca Dunham’s “Two Photographs,” which appeared in the Fall/Winter 2005-2006 issue (Volume VII, Number 1) of Valparaiso Poetry Review.

Rebecca Dunham’s first collection of poetry, The Miniature Room, won the T.S. Eliot Prize and was published by Truman State University Press in 2006. Her poetry has appeared widely in literary journals, including Agni, Antioch Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Field, Gulf Coast, Indiana Review, Iowa Review, North American Review, and Prairie Schooner. Rebecca Dunham is an assistant professor in the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Readers also will find a review of The Miniature Room in a previous post at “One Poet’s Notes.”

Tuesday of each week “One Poet’s Notes” highlights an excellent work by a poet selected from the archives of Valparaiso Poetry Review, except when other posts with news or updates preempt the usual appearance of this item, with the recommendation that readers revisit it. Please check the sidebar to view the list of poets and works that have been past “Poem of the Week” selections. Additionally, readers are reminded that VPR pages are best read with the browser font preference in which they were set, 12 pt. Times New Roman, in order to guarantee the stanza alignment and the breaks of longer lines are preserved.
