Seeing as Matthew Francis and S. K. (Captain) Kelen are on-tap at
the mo', let me highly recommend the new (June) issue of STAND in
which both have _wonderful_ poems. I'm especially taken with the
whizz-banging conclusion to Matthew's "St. Catherine and the
Philosophers"--with no slight intended to Steve's lovely poem,
(it's just that "St. Catherine" gets me where I live, so to
speak).
Wonder if anybody else would be interested in a project of poems
on saints (lives or texts, canonized or de-nominated therefore, or
thoroughly disreputable candidates of one's own)--? A sort of po-mo
_legenda aurea_ of baser metals, maybe?
Anyway, go read STAND--lotsa good stuff there by our own and others--
