I have been asked about my influences lately. While they are many and varied, one poet I admire extremely has a new book out. Here is a well written profile of him: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/magazine/12Seidel-t.html?scp=1&sq=Frederick%20Seidel&st=cse cheers ad | ||

I had NEVER heard of Mr. Seidel, and was delighted to find a couple of his poems online. Here, then, an oft-quoted excerpt from his poem "Universes" -- "Each invisible eyelet is a black hole Highway out of time. Think of the universe as a beanbag On a bobsled on a run under lights at night. Inside are universes. It is incompletely dark inside. There is motion. There is the possibility." Nice. Thanks for the intro, ad. |
