Read this poem; Chappell is a master wordsmith. Each time a line returns it still feels fresh. Ol’ Fred’s form nearly always goes over my head but I come away wanting to improve my own work. Does anyone know the name of this structure? Thank you to @alancornett for such an amazing gift, I can’t wait to hang it once I have enough wall space! Broadside on the Adela Press.

Read this one; Chappell is a master. Somehow this poem doesn’t feel repetitive or forced, and each return to the repeated lines feels fresh. I have found it difficult to read through Ol’ Fred’s “Midquest,” but individual poems like this remind me of his power. His work often goes over my head formally, but he makes me want to improve my own work. Thank you to @alancornett for such an amazing gift. I’m going to hang it once I get the wall space!
