I wouldn't know but I'm going / to find out / The what lies / beyond / this loneliness and panic / I call dying, time, / remorse, this cold / and purifying / fire, which hurts so / much, which burns / away the world and all I was / who walked and breathed and spoke / how real it all seemed / for a few years, but I was always / immortal and will be / once more, when I return / to the infinite time / which elapsed before I was conceived. - Arkansas Good Friday, Franz Wright

There are some great poems here, along with a few that seemed too much for me. I especially liked Sarah Arvio and Anne Carson. Joan Didion reading Gerard Manley Hopkins was a real treat!
