Issue 18: John Latta
(Tom Raworth Memorial)

MAY MORNING

                            for Tom Raworth

The writing itch

nigh wholly scratched.


Low smudge of

peach-colored sun.


Up in a hickory

a persistent black-


throated green woodsheds

its Z-strain


syllabics.  Everywhere impertinent

arrangements of greens.

John Latta lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
