Aram Saroyan: two poems (lighght / morni'ng), from Aram Saroyan, 1968
These (poem and images) are so splendid. Their effect on me is to make me feel that summer is actually coming, which is wonderful. I've never been certain why it is that I always responded to Aram Saroyan's work so positively and I find it difficult to frame my reaction in words. I think, however, it's because it seems so lifelike in its presence and the way it presents itself and also that it somehow wedges open a space that it full of light. Obviously, there's nothing common about the Common Grackle.
ReplyDeleteReally happy you liked this, Curtis.
ReplyDeleteA sense of wide-eyed wonder before the world -- "lifelike in its presence and the way it presents itself and also that it somehow wedges open a space that is full of light." Yes.
