Round 54

Yusef: "Sequoia sempervirens" by Ed Roberson

Bob: "Starred Together" by Jena Osman

Two thoughtful poems. Roberson's meditation on the sheer size of the sequoia in relation to human scale and life. Osman's essay-poem on spectatorship and voyeurism. Osman has more going on poetically speaking; Roberson's metaphor of human = squirrel could have been more sharply articulated.

One for Bob. After 54
