#NationalPoetryMonth Day 24: Arthur Sze makes my mind expand like few other contemporary poets are able to. Also, my heart. Link to full poem:

Nute Wow! The intensity displayed here is mind boggling! Spending some time with this now. 2y
vivastory @Nute I'm so glad to hear that it grabbed your attention! The first Sze book I read was Quipu & I was mesmerized by how he based the structure of the book on the title itself. He is one of my favorite idea driven poets because he doesn't get lost in the conceptual/philosophical side of his subjects & always has a finger on the emotional side too. 2y

Borrowed this as an ebook from my local library. I wasn‘t particularly impressed, but there was some imagery that spoke to me. The majority of the poems felt disjointed, and while that worked for some it detracted from others. I wouldn‘t borrow it again, but I don‘t regret reading it.
