Thanks to poet Seth Abramson for mentioning my forthcoming collection of poems Letters to Borges in his review of the best new books of poems for The Huffington Post.
Here’s a poem from the book:
For Anyone At All
After the clock was done with noon
The boy leapt up like a crow
To land in the great dictionary.
Like an ape he tore the pages,
Applied some paste with a stick
Until he held a doll of sorts,
A puppet made of words.
He could hear the neighbor’s
Children at a window: Hey
Blind boy—find us where we are!
Come on and guess!
He waved the pages then,
Making them bow and rise
Like nothing you will ever see.
