Another highly recommended group of poems is the one by Trevor
Joyce that's just gone up on the Alterran Poetry Assemblage site
(http://members.home.net/alterra/joyce.htm): "Data Shadows" (which
will make you think twice about using your ATM card on a dark and
stormy night--by glum, by trek); "Joinery" (in which is embedded
an entire poem by Michael Smith); "Let Happen: _Toccata with & for
Randolph Healy_" (with embedded lines from Healy's _Rodin Sculpture
Garden, Stanford_, one of my personal faves, btw); and "Dark Senses
Parallel Streets," the former a Tom Raworth title, the latter a
Trevor Joyce one, with the poems accordingly writ/wrought in all
their free (and freestanding) mutual engagement.
These are models of intertextuality, with nothing parasitic about
Joyce's poems relative to those they sweep up in a dance or a mad
embrace--
