Another remarkable poem by Marianne Boruch, this one demonstrating Robert Pinsky's observation that "[h]er poems often give fresh examples of how rare and thrilling it can be to notice."

Couldn't let Wendy Cope's 80th birthday pass without posting this absolute knock-out punch of a poem.
For #disabilitypridemonth, and for Petrarch's birthday, an Italian sonnet nonpareil by the great John Milton. Notably, this is the first instance in all of Milton's poetry where his blindness is made explicit.

Amazingly, Weldon Kees wasn't the only motorist to abandon a vehicle in the sightseers' parking lot that day.
70 years ago today, Weldon Kees vanished without a trace. Police found his Plymouth Savoy abandoned near the Golden Gate Bridge with the keys still in the ignition. Of the many poems written for Kees over the years, this one by Larry Levis has stayed with me more than any other.
