re: cole swensen - for this list I would say a shorter work of hers titled _oh_ (from apogee press). she uses opera as her source for this text. her most recent _such rich hour_ (university of iowa press, how i know cole) is also beautiful.

re: eleni sikelians - that quote is from "sleep, sleepwalker" in _the monster lives of boys and girls_ (green integer press)

re: books in general

hey what is everyone else reading?

Billy, thanks for these. Any specific title by Swensen you'd recommend?

Also, what specific title did the following Sikelianos piece come from?

G.


"    I want to go to the elevator
& ascend in the cool
wind that lifts us
in our just-awake traits
into the dusk & our skirts asking questions
of cringing atoms singing like brass bands in the closet
I will make the music for you, a view
with no pictorial illusion of volumetric space"    -eleni sikelianos
