Really masterful example here of how a well chosen poem title can contextualize the work Marie Howe, from “The Kingdom of Ordinary Time”
Easter
Two of the fingers on his right hand had been broken
so when he poured back into that hand it surprised him -it hurt him at first.
And the whole body was too small. Imagine the sky trying to fit into a tunnel carved into a hill.
He came into it two ways:
From the outside, as we step into a pair of pants.
And from the center - suddenly all at once.
Then he felt himself awake in the dark alone.

Behind the scenes peek at the very poetic process of picking a book title:
A title page for a manuscript. The typed title is another life first blood part two. Written around the typed title are other titles like another life meets Frankenstein and another life judgement day

It only took two days, four YouTube videos and a book for literal children, but I learned to knit! I am bad at it! I will keep trying!
A picture of a hand holding a small patch of knitting with pink string. The knitted work appears to be in pain, crying out to a god that neither listens nor cares. In the background is a “how to knit” book for children

okay lorrie moore shots fired
Agnes had not been invited to the dinner, and when she asked about this, in a mildly forlorn way, Stauffbacher shrugged, as if it were totally out of his hands. I'm a published poet, Agnes wanted to say. She had published a poem once-in
The Gizzard Review, but still!

Klein
told a story at a dinner party. The
story went like this: I was in college and I was walking by the light rail line. A man in a wheelchair was on the track. The train was coming. I walked quickly, grasped the handles of the wheelchair, which were worn and had rubber bands wrapped around
