      Note to the Reader

      Copper Canyon Press encourages you to calibrate your settings by using the line of characters below, which optimizes the line length and character size:

      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque eu

      Please take the time to adjust the size of the text on your viewer so that the line of characters above appears on one line, if possible.

      When this text appears on one line on your device, the resulting settings will most accurately reproduce the layout of the text on the page and the line length intended by the author. Viewing the title at a higher than optimal text size or on a device too small to accommodate the lines in the text will cause the reading experience to be altered considerably; single lines of some poems will be displayed as multiple lines of text. If this occurs, the turn of the line will be marked with a shallow indent.

      Thank you. We hope you enjoy these poems.

       This e-book edition was created through a special grant provided by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. Copper Canyon Press would like to thank Constellation Digital Services for their partnership in making this e-book possible.

       I love you. All your concerns are as important to me as my own. For many dear, beautiful reasons I wish to make you happy.

      My fancies fluttered round the same images

      like martins round a bell tower at dawn.

      I checked my e-mails, then, I checked them again:

      lariat sweep and stallion glow.

      Some one hour’s experience for which we

      stubbornly subornatively return:

      a dalliance at an execution.

      Everything reduced to occasion
