My three favorites (of a very good bunch) are "People Who Give You Things," "Your Other Men," and "Closing Parishes in Boston." I think all of the poems are technically quite good. What made these the most memorable, for me, was how much was at stake emotionally and how charged the language is. They are all "wow" poems.
