Powell reads "The Imaginal Stage."

About This Poem

 

"An imago is, for many winged insects, the final form of its metamorphosis. The plural of imago is imagines, and this time in the insect's life is called the imaginal stage. The insect at this point has reached sexual maturity and has also earned its wings."
D. A. Powell

 

D. A. Powell's most recent books are Repast (Graywolf, 2014) and Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys (Graywolf, 2014). He teaches at the University of San Francisco and lives in San Francisco, California.
