Have some poems
I mentioned a few days ago that April is National Poetry Month, and that you can sign up at Knopf and poets.org for a poem per day throughout the month. But if you don't want to add to your e-mail burden, let me point you to a few poems I've enjoyed:
- "Appeal to the Grammarians," Paul Violi
- "Thing," Rae Armentrout (inspired, I believe, by Christopher Smart's Jubilate Agno)
- "For the Confederate Dead," Kevin Young
- "Three Dreams about Elizabeth Bishop," J. D. McClatchy (link is an audio clip)
- "City Lilacs," Helen Dunmore
- "Joseph Cornell, with Box," Michael Dumanis (more on Joseph Cornell)
- "Atlantis--A Lost Sonnet," Eavan Boland
