The New Yorker: Poetry
I Was Fire by Matthew Dickman
I was fire by matthew dickman, and which was published in the april fifth, 20 ten issue of the magazine. I love the end with all these ohs, you keep me o graveyard, oh, fire. The whole poem just kind of like flickers back and forth between these images and these feelings. It's just sort of these little bursts of insight. So it almost sounds narrative, but it really does sort of unravel and glow and climb as he says.
