Nick Courtright’s Punchline
Nick Courtright’s first book, Punchline, is out! Go to his website to buy a copy, do some Googling to read his poems, etc. Here’s a short favorite from the book:
THE GARDEN
It is all this material stuff. It is a deer
leaping over a white picket fence, its fawn in tow.
So bless
the tearful rush of falling,
and sing each of these seeds
into its bed—
I may have thirteen explanations
for every way
we’ve failed,
but I know no explanation for the thirteen explanations.
