Brazil, where hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon,
And softly murmured 'Some day soon'
We kissed.

Brazil, where hearts were entertained in June
We stood beneath an amber moon,
And softly murmured 'Some day soon'
We kissed.
About Me
- Name: greg rappleye
- Location: Grand Haven, Michigan, United States
I am a writer who lives and works in West Michigan. I am a graduate of Albion College, the University of Michigan Law School, and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. I have published three full-length collections of poetry: Holding Down the Earth (Sky Books, 1995), A Path Between Houses (University of Wisconsin Press, 2000) which won the Brittingham Prize, and Figured Dark (University of Arkansas Press, 2007), which won the University of Arkansas Press Poetry Series. I have also published three chapbooks: Eros, Psyche and the Death of Narrative (Candle Creek Press, 2006), The Afterlight (WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2006), and The Divisible Field ( WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2008), and have completed a fourth manuscript, Tropical Landscape with Ten Hummingbirds. I am working on a novel. My work has received a Pushcart Prize, the Mississippi Review Prize, the Paumanok Poetry Prize, the Greensboro Review Literary Award in Poetry, and the Arts & Letters Prize. I was a Bread Loaf Fellow in 2002. When not writing, I work full-time as corporation counsel for a local government and also teach part-time in the English Department at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

There you are, your own number on your very own door. And behind that door, your very own office! Welcome to the team, DZ-015.
Trivia: Kate Bush had recorded the song for the film, but it was never used. It later surfaced on a re-release of the "Brazil" soundtrack.
Hey Greg, are you okay? Miss your posts.
Yeah, Greg, where have you been? We miss your posts and poems--even the ones that you make go poof!
