Daily poems

Borrowing a practice from Jeff Hardin, last year I started reading a "daily poem" at the beginning of each of my classes. Continuing this in my comp class this summer. This week's poems are:
  • David Groff, "Birthing" (Theory of Devolution)
  • Chana Bloch, "Coasting" (Mrs. Dumpty)
  • Marie Howe, "How Some of It Happened" (What the Living Do)
  • Mary Ruefle, "Why Did I Endlessly Chatter?" (Post Meridian)
  • Pattiann Rogers, "Geocentric" (Geocentric)

Next week's list is still open. Want to suggest something? I have my ideas (and machinations) but I'm (very) open.
