Richard:
The three little piggies poem is cute and the title poem is Gorey-worthy (I would love to see how EG would have illustrated that), but the loaves and fishes poem moved me very much, lapsed Irish Catholic boy that I am. As did Deadweight, especially:
The math of love is hard, and the amount
one gives is rarely given back in full—
best put your trust in something tangible:
the things that count are things that you can count.
I am lazy when it comes to memorizing things, but I am going to memorize that.
It's lovely work. And kudos to the New Formalist for such a wonderful project.
