    “I cannot remember things I once read
    A few friends, but they are in cities.
    Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup
    Looking down for miles
    Through high still air.”

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.”
    —Diane Glancy (b. 1941)
