Round 18
Yusef: "The Vagrant Hours" by Charles Fort
Bob: "O Patriarchy" by Elaine Equi
Fort's poem, while perhaps quietudinous and academic, is smooth and competent. (I wish he hadn't written "verse libre" instead of the correct "vers libre.") I don't really "get" Equi's poem. I understand what the point is, but I don't understand the aesthetic impulse behind a poem like this.
but if a woman
is offended,
she finds no one there
to blame.
Maybe I'm not familiar enough with her work. Creeley would have written: "but if a woman / be offended." Skanky Possum again.
Yusef scores!
