Latest Daybook entry is another Wallace Stephens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird.

Next entry to the daybook: Wallace Stephens’s The Idea of Order at Key West. I loved this when I first read it over 20 years ago at UCD, and still do. It’s so satisfying to recite aloud.

Following the the example of Robert Pinsky’s Singing School, I’ve started my own daybook, writing out the set of poems that appeal to me as I encounter them. First up: Tiara, by Mark Doty.
