What a Trillion Dollars Looks Like

Poetry Magazine : March : 2009

Two funny lines:

I made a joke about how

it doesn’t dovetail: time,

-from John Ashbery’s Uptick

and

And the sun comes out in real time, stealing over the ground.

-from Harry Clifton’s The Park

I also liked:

Bless our rough hands, wind-scabbed lips,

bless this our miscreant psalm.

-from Dave Lucas’s Lines for Winter

Seth Abramson has the two worthy poems in the whole magazine:

What I Have and Captains in Captivity

Jason Guriel defends the negative review, but what would really be interesting was if he reviewed the poetry in each Poetry issue.
