Chelsea Smart

Chelsea Smart has a poem I want to focus on in Shampoo, issue 40, 2014. It's called "Raining 101" and has an interesting mix of styles. It seems very Poiret and Asian in the sense of the 1910s obsession with the exotic East. While most Modernist poets focused on ancient Greece and Rome, some went further and included other areas--this could almost be from an old tome.

Here's an excerpt:

The grapevine waited for spring to finish
Lacquering the hill with emerald paint.

Crucified boughs forgave the storm
Like a saint forgets to forget the covenant
And waits to be forsaken.

[...]

Smoking up the vineyard while

Night avalanched and grew.
