Imaginary Logic

Imaginary logic

The poet being a professor, it not a surprisr that one kind of subjects - fiction, criticism, rhetoric, poetry workshop class in 'The Ante' make a frequent appearance.

..On each pencil the teeth of every child
who ever held it had gnawed deep tracks...in 'The Elementary Principles of Rhetoric'

The poet is at his best with the endings like

..they dont get it - the kind of people
who epxect real smoke from a toy tractor.. in 'Feelings, by ashley Higgins'

'Winning' is a childhood sack race poem.

'The Previous Tenants' poem with its detective angle reminded me of Ted Kooser's 'Abandoned farmhouse'.
