Excellent poetry. Somewhat inaccessible to the uninitiated. By Chad Sweeney, whose poem "The Sentence" is being published in "Best American Poetry, 2007".
Example of stanza:
Topaz ripens inside its mountain,
a tryst of flies at the window,
the curtain between this world and the next
flutters each time a sparrow
strikes the house.
(from No. 47)
Chad Sweeney's poems engage the soul and invite the mind to travel to worlds so new and ancient, hand holding is required and sometimes provided.
