Still, I read it quite a bit, out loud to myself, from my favorite books. And today I found this site: Poetry Daily. The entry from August 25, "Two Poems" by Claudia Emerson, is incredible. An excerpt:
The men faked a collective boredom, nodded, spat,
bid—and would buy it all divided: pasture,
tractor, flatbed, bulkbarns—then the house
where the auctioneer called, convincing us
to bid for all we had desired, had coveted
all those years: her hats would go for one money—
Go read the rest, and the other poem as well.
