Default Aaron Poochigian on Rattle website

A powerful poem by Aaron Poochigian on the Rattle website today -- here's the link. Wonderful reading too. Congrats, Aaron!

The poem sounded very familiar -- I think it was on one of the workshop boards. I definitely know I've seen it before, especially that unforgettable ending: "Thank you, Ohio, for reminding me / how Art should astound." Bravo!

Cheers,

This is a gem. The short fourth lines are used to great, and diverse, effect.
