BASIL KING ~
Marsh Hawk Press
This is one of my favorite books for 2017
and I'm reading all the time.
The book has all the patience and spontaneity I find lacking
in too many books of poems published in the United States —
King's more resembling an era when Ted Berrigan's The Sonnets and
Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems snapped crackled and popped.
King is as brave and honest as another marvel, Muriel Rukeyser.
His overlapping text structure and flow of thoughts
make for extra fine mingling — he is indeed a
jewel thief or perhaps the Prime Minister.
jewel thief or perhaps the Prime Minister.
I started to well up on page 138-139
but then I'm a Leo.
Don't hesitate.

HOUSEKEEPING ~
Housekeeping
What bedspread
what blanket
what cloth I
have watched her
hand spread smooth
with an elegance
felt
on my-
self
The Garden
I see her out a window the one I love
She sees me and smiles
Looks at me again and smiles
Really, she was leaning to look
At the start of spring lettuce
Duo
The same bird every night
In the same tree singing
The same song that does
The same very songful
Thing inside of me
Is It
river
flowing
beneath
the stars
or stars
flowing
over the
river
