Round 47
Yusef: "Four Deaths that Happened Daily" by Peggy Munson
Bob: "Sympathy" by Eileen Myles
Munson's poem is quite arresting, with some Plathian self-dramatization, but in a good way. She doesn't take herself too seriously:
One day I died while preparing to live.
The killer stepped out of a Seurat painting
And said "I will make you into a million dots ....
I would have liked Eileen Myles to win, but her poem, from APR, seemed less vivid, less memorable in direct head-to-head competition with Munson's. What is it about APR that drains the life out of poetry? Yusef finally gets his 14th win.
