McHUGH, HEATHER Real Name: Heather McHugh Occupation: Renegade Identity: Heather McHugh uses no dual identity Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record, still a minor Other Aliases: None Place of Birth: An unrevealed Army base Marital Status: Single Known relatives: Father (name unrevealed, deceased) Group Affiliation: Allan Smale's band of renegades, formerly Harnagorn's subversive organization Base of Operations: New York City First appearance: CITY STREETS #1 History: Heather McHugh is a long-time military brat. Her father was an enlisted man in the United States Army, who had wanted a son, so he raised Heather to be the ultimate tomboy. She learned all she knows about weaponry from her father. Upon her father's death when she was twelve, Heather was sent to the South Bronx Orphanage, and was subsequently brainwashed by its headmistress, Laura Harnagorn . Heather served Harnagorn loyally for several years, until she was sixteen. A new arrival to the Orphanage, Allan Smale , found out about Harnagorn's brainwashing and sought to thwart her plans. Heather was one of those he freed from the brainwashing. She then joined the team he'd put together to oppose Harnagorn. Heather is not always trusted by her new teammates, due to her close associations in the past to Harnagorn. The sole exception is Allan Smale. Recently, Heather came face to face with Harnagorn one final time. Finding herself unable to kill Harnagorn outright, Heather pulled the pin from a grenade she had, and dropped it, intending to kill herself along with her nemesis. However, fate intervened, because

Heather McHugh Her work is eminently readable; more importantly it is re-readable . . . enjoyable down to the fibers. Published books of poetry include Shades To The Quick (1987), and A BLIND OF GREEN A blind of green cedar, the branches cut just at the changing of bands (wood for wind, brown for frill, lobster for lizard, scale for scale because the lineages love Linnaeus, he's the rexes' lex), which leaves myself only an eyehole for the world, after the weaving of one over other and other on one, until over and other are misunderstood (all our strength is exchange). Once the blind has been built, it is nature's, a nest with a mind’s humankind hunched inside. What woeful clear-eyed futures I could see at seven, when the moment struck me there in the Woolworth's store in Williamsburg, the aisle of fake pink flowers, where I stood stock still, and swore I'd never let it leave my mind. The moment, I mean, not the meaning the meaning was nil. I grasped what I was in the clutches of, time warp, time wow, quandary. From then on, then would be forever known as now.

Mourning Summary "When he was dying of / everything," the poet has a dream in which she, too, became diseased and "knew myself." As her friend "got cadaverous and sore," she became more devoted to him. After he dies she asks, "What's / dead? What's dead?" The second part of the poem shifts focus to a circus where a dressed-up elephant defecates as he is performing a trick. Oblivious to what is happening, the elephant continues his act while the audience snickers and laughs. [61 lines] Commentary A strange poem in two disparate parts, connected by the sheer physicality of shit. The dying man, who is also a poet, lacks control over his physical self (shit is the subject of his last poem; his being devolves into (or perhaps away from) the fact of his body. The poet then shows us a performing elephant in a small town. Perhaps the people come to the circus to see "fancy women" or something miraculous, but in the end they are faced with the comic grossness of elephant shit. How do the two parts of the poem fit together? Or do they?
