Three Bookfest hay(na)ku

There's
hope for
me yet, seeing

80-year
olds picking
over the poetry.

§

What
hope is
there for me

when
I see
80-year olds selecting

poetry
written before
they were born?

§


&
at a
slower pace, a

second
trawl. To
find Ed Sanders

&
Yevtushenko, thick-
bodied, arms machismo.

Supporting
them both
a slender Akhmatova.
