From The Clotheslines of Cohoes, p.24:
Cohoes, the ropes of your clotheslines are rotting!
Don’t you want to smell the Great Lakes in your sheets anymore Cohoes?
Don’t you want the sun to puff the turned-out pockets of your Dockers?
Dear Cohoes, we’re in trouble. Be honest: how many days
before you open your utility bill?
Kim Jong Un wants your clotheslines Cohoes.
Him wants them stiff iron posts, them balls of cement.

“Heroic, elegiac, with a novel-like scope and depth
and richness. These poems are warriors carrying
full and wounded hearts.”
