Round 45

Yusef: "A History of Color" by Stanley Moss

Bob: "Trail" by Mông-Lan

I don't know how to put a little dot under the o of Mông; the circumflex will have to suffice. Her poem is another exploratory voyage, like those of Forrest and Duncan earlier. Moss's poem is an odd historical essay about colors, with many fascinating details. I don't really get what he's trying to do; he would need more Kochian humor to bring it off in verse--he strives for a profound ending that the poem will not support. Bob wins with Mông.
