Maryann Corbett poem on American Life in Poetry today August 28, 2018
 

Here.

From her book Street View.

[My mistake in the thread title. The date should be August 27.]

Thanks for the shout-out, Woody. As I've said elsewhere, I owe thanks not only to Kooser for selecting the poem, but also to Alex for publishing Street View, to Measure for publishing the poem initially as a Nemerov finalist, and to my daughter for making me stay late at the State Fair years ago.

It's an excellent poem. Congrats on the ALP pick, Maryann!

Fine sonnet! at once convivial and meditative. I love the rumination in the animation, as ‘they scream revolt at what the body knows.’ Congratulations, Maryann!

Loved getting that one in my inbox when I finally checked my mail after almost a month. Belated congrats. I've been on the island unplugged
