Kristin Roedell & Jeremiah Burrow

Kristin Roedell has a great short piece in 4and20Poetry, from Oct. 2012, vol. 5, issue 10, called only "*":


Hushed and holy 
beauty comes in on white feet 
and the smell of hyacinth.


Both pieces highlighted here today have a sense of Shelley transfigured by the Beats. They're excellent work. The other great short piece is one by Jeremiah Burrow, in the same journal issue, called "Boulder":

I saw black sun rising out of earth to eat the last golden rays of day.

    I just came upon this; thank you for your kind comparison. I like Mr. Burrow's poem a great deal.This is one of my shorter poems, but I recognize that sometimes brevity can be effective.
