“Elegy for E.A. Robinson

Six months and still your parents couldn’t name
the boy they wished a girl. They let a crowd
of tipsy cooers at their resort pluck
Edwin from a hat. Of course you earned your Bs
at Harvard, left with no degree, and failed
to woo your brother’s fiancée–most lives
can spot themselves in butcher apron stains.
Half of what you penned sad Robinson
just plods, and half of that runs too long. And yet
on nights when gloom, no maudlin thing, knifes through
these rooms like news a fevered child has died
I rouse your spine to ask what might be done.
Down rows of tombs in Tilbury Town you hum
at empty plots, a spade in either palm.”

—Adam Tavel

"Their nearest competitors are Kim Jong-un and his daughter Kim Ju Ae, approximately 13, who have been making a strong showing on the world stage — she having recently been photographed driving a tank and firing a sniper rifle, which the judges acknowledge is technically impressive, though they note she bears an unsettling resemblance to the murderous animatronic doll from Squid Game and that this is affecting their ability to score objectively." —Linda Unternahrer via via @iwinter
