The Man from Cleveland is Leaving
Happy National Poetry Month from Stance on Dance!
BY RACHELLE WOODS; ILLUSTRATION BY CAMILLE TAFT
10 years in this land with no Bros
no Black humor
no one watching your back
this is not a scramble at the market
with a boom box back up band
or an all you can eat meat gig
this is the Hill
$25 ticket, $9 wine
grey heads nodding
a tiny space to dance
fare thee well Brian
may you find good sermons
and good music in one church
may the swamp embrace you
farewell concert – Museum Hill, Santa Fe

Camille Taft is a seventeen-year-old dancer living in Longmont, CO, who has trained throughout her life in primarily ballet and modern dance. With both her parents as visual artists, she has always appreciated the excitement that comes from a collaboration of mixed media, and was thus overjoyed to have the opportunity to work with Stance on Dance.
