I am not good at picking favorite poems, and yet I feel compelled to try. Currently (because I am fickle in these matters), my favorite David St. John poem is "Hush," from his collection Study for the World's Body. However, I also love "Iris," "Wedding Preparations in the Country," and "Shadow."
While we're at it, I may as well list my favorite Charles Simic poems (yes, plural; I told you, I'm hopeless):
1. Medieval Miniature
2. The Once-Over
3. Midnight Freight
4. Ambiguity's Wedding
5. Obscurely Occupied
6. House of Horrors
7. To the One Upstairs
And those are just the ones from Jackstraws! Ah, how I find ways to amuse myself.
