To begin ...

As the twentieth century fades out
the nineteenth begins
.......................................again
it is as if nothing happened
though those who lived it thought
that everything was happening
enough to name a world for & a time
to hold it in your hand
unlimited.......the last delusion
like the perfect mask of death

A Special Announcement


It is my pleasure to announce that Poems and Poetics will be appearing as a regular commentary on the Jacket2 web site [http://jacket2.org/commentary/jerome-rothenberg] & will be available both there & in its familiar position here.  I will be deciding shortly whether to have the same postings run on dual tracks or to develop each one for separate purposes.  The format there is markedly different but the content & intentions are much the same – at least for now.  (J.R.)
