I do not like polishing the tea pots. My face, already grotesque, reflected, distorted even more in their surface. ~ I have nine books borrowed from the library. Still, I am reading the one new book of poems I found at the thrift store. ~ We don’t know the length, the breadth, the width, the height, and certainly not the depth of our unknowing. ~
Love that first one–great.

Hmmm…been quite a while since I read The Book so I’m afraid the specific passage escapes me.
The formatting is part of the style of Jim Moore’s “Invisible Strings” book. All the poems are written in this manner more or less. The line endings lend a real sense of import to the phrasing. After reading the book my mind started putting sentences together in this manner. I found it quite addictive.
Thanks for stopping by!
