*Aram Saroyan. Complete Mimimal Poems. 2007. 270 pp

I've always been attracted to very short, minimalistic poems:

fall over

fall over

fall over

fall over

Saroyan's wit and light touch are in evidence here. I see many possibilities for writing: one-word poems, two-word poems. Levi-Strauss says of the myth that its repetitions serve to teach us its own structure. So too, here, with this poem.

    Hi Jonathan,
    Shorter the poem, the more immediate. All occurs at once. Eye and mind can hold. Generalizations aside, Pirooz has one I think is really worth seeing.
