I am not generally a Modern Poetry Reader. When we hit upon the idea of leaving this one in the bathroom, a creative center, magic was born. I think Mr. Young would take all of this the right way. Weird but not self-conscious and conversational without being non-poetic.

This is my first dip into the work of Dean Young. Mesmerized. Love the way his line takes in as much life as possible and illuminates via kinetic energy. Worth it to read "Clam Ode" and "Ten Inspirations". Would come back to for these poems alone.
