I do think the Grotz poem goes haywire after "he fled" and that the Addonizio poem, while a lot of fun, is a bit too scattered. Otherwise, have no real demerits to speak of. I did like "Disgust" a lot for what it said, but wasn't all that enchanted with its language. The heron poem, very nice and vivid. But will go with "The Word for Lion" because of 'stomach of earth' mainly.Donald Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391024449222256377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-30484055246243527522009-05-13T18:05:00.000+02:002009-05-13T18:05:00.000+02:00I am a sucker for the single-shot-type images foun...I am a sucker for the single-shot-type images found in Malcolm de Chazal. They were good air to breathe: my vote. At some point in almost all the other poems I said to myself "belabored" and lost interest. Except "Landscape with Arson", my #2 pic, which seemed to combine frame scene with vision-memory quite effortlessly.Greta https://www.blogger.com/profile/04253301889379618401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-17209743129454167552009-05-13T04:41:00.000+02:002009-05-13T04:41:00.000+02:00This week my vote goes to

But I also liked some of the Poemes translation and the second half of the lion poem. I agree with previous comment that there were a lot of nice moments in some of these poems, but didn't keep it up in their entirety.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629979942016781958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-24907875168734711752009-05-10T11:50:00.000+02:002009-05-10T11:50:00.000+02:00Hm.
