"Adelaide Crapsey"

At Flos Carmeli.

Thanks to Steven Riddle for today's mention:

Okay, okay, okay. I need to curl up with my Luci Shaw, but first I needed to post a couple of things by this poet whom I have only recently discovered. She apparently wrote in the early part of the twentieth century and composed many different types of poems. Some of the most effective are reminiscent of the poetry of our own Mr. Core, q.v. I find it very similar to one of my favorite schools of more recent poetry -- imagist. (Of course no one can even hope to equal the grandeur of the Cavalier and Metaphysical poets.) Here's a couple of short pieces by Ms. Crapsey....

By the way, one of E. E. Cummings' poems strongly resembles mine. (I do not, off the top of my head, remember which one.) But I discovered that poem after most of mine had been written.
