"Now night a cool moss"
Jacob, Brigham, Stanford, Hass, Rich, Morrison, Williams
Max Jacob (trans. Rosanna Warren):
Besmilr Brigham:
Frank Stanford:
Robert Hass:
One view is “There's something in charge and I wanna get straight with it.” Another view is “There's something in charge and it means me no good and I wanna get the fuck out of here.” And the third is “There's nothing and everything going on.” The third, because it contains the other two, is most appealing to me.
Adrienne Rich:
Toni Morrison:
William Carlos Williams:
the language / pouring down / beautiful thing / the language.
The / language / to dull ears— / how see— / or why write?
