with the baying of hounds in the

baying of arms in the field

of the hound on the page in the

sound of the hound in the field

of the hay that unrests near

the hound in the barn in the field

of the bend in the barn in the

sound of the hound in the bay

by the barn in the field.

- Lisa Jarnot, from "Hound Pastoral"

I think I was thinking when I was

ahead I'd be somewhere like Perry Street erudite

dazzling slim and badly loved

contemplating my new book of poems

to be printed in simple type on old brown paper

feminine marvelous and tough.

- Ted Berrigan, from "Sonnet XXXVI"
