Another Song I Know: Short Poems (Electronic book text)

In the hands of a master, the short poem is beguiling on two levels. First, we are astonished by what it reveals; then, in subsequent readings, we begin to wonder how. But the answer is elusive. Emerson said, "Every word was once a poem." In Another Song I Know, William Michaelian treats words as the gems they really are. The result is clear: sixty-four very short poems that linger in the mind, and that seem to glow on the page.
