  • Jordan Davis's Million Poems is on fire the last few days. Not everything works—as if all my sonnets worked!—but there are gems there.
  • Don't miss the last two days at Wood s Lot, here and here, for poetry and talk about poetry. Kenneth Rexroth on translation is particularly good.
  • Chris Murray has posted one of her student's sonnets. It's looser than I like to work, but still a fine piece.
  • Shanna Compton also liked Glyn Maxwell's Time's Fool. Buy it!
  • Josh Corey's just posted some haunting poetry and links. I don't share the politics or the poetics—I'm pretty much a radical centrist—but I was nevertheless moved.

Far Away

I bought the DVDs eight weeks ago
But haven't started Buffy's season five,
And not because she won't get out alive—
Just like her first death, it won't last, I know.
Of course, it's just a television show,
Where every week her Scoobies must contrive
Some plan to stop some villain's wicked jive.
There's something there that shakes me, even so.
That sudden sister should have been a joke—
Still, how could Buffy choose to let her die,
Their mother dead? And Glory! When she broke
Sweet Tara's mind she is a god, I thought,
Yet Buffy, dying, won—my wife and I
Together watched her save the world. A lot.
