Day 28: Donald Revell

I was introduced to Donald Revell, among other amazing poets, in a class at a local community college. My instructor was Michelle Mitchell-Foust (author of the ghazal example on Day 26). Here's one of my favorites (& I seem to imagine it scrawled on a postcard) from his book, Arcady.


Tooms I

I am really healthy hurry
So we can wag

I've had a molar removed
I've listened to Chevalier
Even plaster has something to say
On the radio I have not
Been blinded by anything yet
But beauty & sunshine

Beauty here & there
Have you heard
Is my scrap heap
Made of sunshine
Have you heard let me say

I liked the pictures esp. the one with the hat
& the frame is beautiful
