I want poems with subtle complexity. I want poems so aware of themselves, their lack of sentiment becomes honesty and their honesty opens up the interrogation that started the engine of the poem in the first place. I was so startled when I actually found that in Bird’s poem, I went straight to my local bookstore and ordered her book. I say that not to endorse her poem, but to endorse the art of finding poetry that speaks to you and supporting whoever put it into the world.
