I Really Loved this Poem John Olson Just Posted

Check this out.

John Olson is a master of the prose poem.

I love the way this poem reminds me of Ponge--that writer with the phenomenological concerns would so often turn the poem into a miniature essay.

But there's something naked and wonderful here that reminds me of Brainard.

So the poem (for me) is like a wonderful fusion of Ponge and Joe Brainard.

The sort of poetry that's so great you're not even jealous.

You're just glad it exists.
