Penny's Poetry Blog's featured poem for June:
In June and Gentle Oven, by Anne Wilkinson
[...]

Then two in one the lovers lie
And peel the skin of summer
With their teeth
And suck its marrow from a kiss

Quite an interesting poem from a poet who is new to me, I thank you for continuing to expose the obscure in poetry history...!

You found one of her chapbooks, that'll be some exclusive material going on the blog, well played.

She certainly is not well-known, even in Canada. She died young, at 51,
with just two books published. The second book came out in 1955, so it's
almost as old as I am; it's long been out of print, so thanks to
copyright laws and lack of the internet, there's been little way to
discover her.

I've seen "June" in anthologies, but that's all I read until recently.
This year, though, I found her first chapbook online, and I'll be
blogging a couple more of her poems, probably in August and January or
February.

Good timing, Zod. One of the new Wilkinson poems I found will be on blog
next Sunday (not tomorrow, but next week).
