I write about this book a bit on my blog... here's a link. http://clarkknowles.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/today-a-poem/ It's a really fantastic book. I think some folks might call it surreal, but it's totally real to me, all the way through. Very concrete, even as it flirts with the edges of reality. Plus, it has an index. What books of poetry have indexes? It's a totally justified index, by the way. It reads almost as a poem itself. Just go get it. Get the hardcover if you can.
