AUDIENCE TO POET, by HAZEL HALL Poet's Biography First Line: Poet with the pointed breath Last Line: Clang in our ear your uttered steel. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | |||
Poet with the pointed breath, Who matches darkness of the mind With syllables so taut they wind Their meaning is a lively death. Spare us no twinge nor brilliance stirred With rapiers of speech that move To break the dark from cool new love Encompassed in the burning word. That we may live enough to feel Living, with something more than heart, Lay on our eye your tonic smart, Clang in our ear your uttered steel. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
