American Poets Continuum
Series
Postcards
from the Interior, as the title implies, is a collection
of postcard poems 'sent' from varied places, and states of heart
and mind. This collection, Cooper's third, balances prose
poems, free verse, and formal verse. The first section,
"Postcards from Vermont," is composed of poems from
Vermont towns and historical landmarks. The second section
includes postcard poems from other settings, real and imagined.
"Wyn Cooper's superb postcard poems, deft and exemplary,
say just enough, and never too much. Their clarities and
their mysteries travel hand in hand, their feet raise the clean
sound of gravel from the world's outer and inner roads."
--Jane Hirshfield
Postcard
from the Party
You
have to be invited, and there's nothing
you
can do to be asked. Headlines and bloodlines
don't
help. It's a long way from home but I'm
here,
the view much better than I'm used to.
How
did this happen? Dumb but good luck,
right
place and time, the planets aligned.
No
contract, no deadline, no risk. And what
did
I do to deserve this? Slept with all
the
wrong people, gambled too much on friends
of
friends with light bulbs over their heads.
Wrote
every day no matter what.
