Karl Young: 'Toward an Ideal Anthology (Reflections on the Light and Dust Web Anthology),' Part Two

Jerome Rothenberg

[Part One of Karl Young’s insightful essay on anthologies and his own work in particular appeared earlier on Poems and Poetics. The entire piece can be accessed here, by a pathway that can lead the reader to other useful and often hard to obtain works, generously and conscientiously delivered. (J.R.)]

Mark Weiss: 'A Suite of Dances' III: Travelers Tales

Jerome Rothenberg

Cows in the mire above slate water.

 

White, dappled

to the brown drop-off, sea,

clouds beyond,

and a burnish of sunlight

barely makes it.

And here’s a bay cuts in below stubble

on a ground of snow.
