As the year draws to a close, we say goodbye to our focus, over the last few months, on the "calendar poems" of Lorine Niedecker. More information on this series can be found here; and, again, we encourage folks to pick up a copy of the excellent Collected Works, edited by Jenny Penberthy. 

I like a

loved one to

be apt in

the wing.

Sweet ekes

of soft drips--

bathroom

luxuries.
