day 18: Meanwhile, by Richard Siken

Richard Siken, master of words. His book of poems, Crush, is the one Louise Glück said made her feel like the top of her head had been taken off. How's that for an endorsement?

His poetry looks beautiful on the page - he does cool stuff with line breaks - but it also sounds excellent. I had a hard time choosing which poem to read.
