Winner of the third annual Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize (2007), judged by former Poet Laureate of the USA and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Richard Wilbur. How Ticklishness Evolved What danger does he shrink from, when my nail skitters across the boundary of his tan -- a tiger's whisker-tip, a scorpion's tail? What wriggler wrecked a cave bear's dinner plan by waking up the world's first ticklish man? Maybe it was a spider's needle feet that triggered that first trembling retreat; perhaps the flicking of a serpent's tongue, or something more insidious and sweet, whose touch was feather-soft before it stung. From an acerbic poem on the subject of poetry competitions to a touching reflection on what might once have been a Neanderthal's flute; from a light-hearted meditation on the origins of ticklishness to a measured account of her reaction on first hearing about 9/11, Rose Kelleher's Bundle o' Tinder is a debut collection of unusual thematic diversity. It is also a collection of unusual formal resourcefulness, written by a poet immersed in tradition but not in thrall to it. Rose Kelleher has worked as a technical writer and programmer, and authored four computer books and numerous technical articles. Since rediscovering poetry in recent years, she has published poems and essays in a variety of magazines - including Anon, Atlanta Review, The Dark Horse, First Things, iota, Measure, The Shit Creek Review, Snakeskin and Verse Daily - and been nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize.
