Elaine Equi

I finished reading Elaine Equi's Cloud of Knowable Things, and I enjoyed it. A poet I admire lists her as a favorite, so I guess I expected to be blown away, but I was actually more entertained than floored - charmed than changed. That's not a bad thing. Here are my favorites:
1. Opaque Saints
2. A Quiet Poem
3. The Objects in Japanese Novels
4. Everywhere Today We See a Lack of Commitment (Hilarious)
5. Early Influence
6. Alien Fantasy (Terrific)
7. Four Corners
8. The Movie Version
9. A Sentimental Song
10. Can't Complain
11. Pivotal Gaps
12. For August in April
13. Return of the Sensuous Reader
14. Reset (contains my favorite line of all: "I plant my syllables in light./Let them multiply there." Wow)
