Round 17

Yusef: "Journal" by Stuart Dybeck

Bob: "Moon Cornering" by Theodore Enslin

Dybeck's dream-diary poem starts off in such a dull way I almost didn't read the rest of it; it gets much better. The dreams themselves, however, are more interesting than the language used to recount them. Enslin's poem is one I have to keep reading to decide whether I am really convinced by it. Once more Creeley's surprising propensity for selecting Creeleyesque poems. A narrow decision for Bob.
