I've recently spent a good deal of time with this book and there are so many things in there that I get so excited about.
I've written all over it, and on many pages (72, 58, 52, 39, 32, 11, 81, etc.) I've written "WOW." And I keep going back to page 35. Breaking it down: five short, very big sentences! The jumps. They really creep me out.
Something in Young's rhythms, his matter-of-fact tone, the surreal newspaper cut-ups, I've learned a lot from this book. Another way to bend a line, beautifully.
Funny, too, the poem on page 63, "Day fifty six," after reading it aloud and such I wanted to immediately go to the computer and ask Mark about it - what it was and why - and then when I finally turned the page I read: "How many times have you / enquired about the / specifics?" HA!
One of the reasons I love poetry and poetry books so much. Pieces talk to each other. Such a great effect he created there.
