Hear, her
Clear
Mirror,
Care
His error.
In her
Care
Is clear.

Louis Zukofsky

A Zukofsky Selected Poems has just come out. Edited by Charles Bernstein:
"This poetry leads with sound and you can never go wrong following the sound sense... Zukofsky loved to create patterns, some of which are apparent and some of which operate subliminally... Each word, like a stone dropped in a pond, creates a ripple around it. The intersecting ripples on the surface of the pond are the pattern of the poem."
