-- Table of Poems from Poem FinderŪ

Each poem in this diverse anthology reflects its speaker's manipulation of his/her environment, and assessment of his/her relationship to a cultural milieu. Thus, the poems share a variety of themes: love, political morality, redemption. Two of the most exciting voices are Lucie Brock-Broido, who writes compellingly of our attachment to divinity ("I will betray as a god betrays, / With tenderheartedness. I've got this mystic streak in me"), and Wayne Koestenbaum, who combines a lyrical mysticism with imperative, concrete memory (about his music teacher, he notes, "he'd shout, 'Good show!'. . . / as if his bandroom were Tangier. He led us / in a tango so tranced / it tore my life into parts"). Given the arbitrariness of the criteria for inclusion (age and nationality), it is unsurprising that some poets--Jane Oliensis, for one--are banal or pedestrian in their concepts and techniques. Christopher is the author of a novel in verse, Desperate Characters .
