Interesting list from Tim & citations from Keston - before the
anti-canons fire, I'll slip in a few & confuse the mix (as well as
acknowledging that Jean Calais is Stephen Rodefer whose daughter - real
or not - gets due credit for the startling notes) by throwing some agape
in with the eros.
Recent: Crozier's "Veil Poem"; MacSweeney's "Finnbar's Lament"; Prynne's
"Love" indeed & maybe "Treatment in the Field"; John James' "2nd
Exultation" (probably for Gwyneth ducky) & "Sister Midnight"; yes,
O'Hara & Wieners much of; things I cannot lay my hands on just now by
Robert Duncan, Spicer, Olson's Resurrection thing.
Stretching past eros, & sparing not the blushes of listees, one of the
grand love poems of our times is Doug Oliver's "Mongol in the Woods"
with, perhaps, a deal more of the ouevre that gathers under the simple
dedication (For Tom); & in the realm of fathers & daughters, Oppen's
"Exodus" (speaking of miracles, Douglas?) & the very elegant "Inchcolm"
by Alexander Hutchison. Into full-blown agape with Robert Lax's "The
Circus of the Sun" (so old, in style, it's almost new).
Enuff!!
For now.
Pete.
ps where does one find the champion looking Champion, Tim? & Andrea's
"city" Keston?
pps Old: Song of Songs; New: David Rosenberg's transformation -
"I will be in my garden/ as I am deep within you/ my bride"
