A new Bill Knott
Bill's got a new book, Cribsheets, up at his blog.
In it he finally republishes "(Sergey) (Yesenin) Speaking (Isadora) (Duncan)", one of my favorites from The Naomi Poems, his first book, and the new work seems strong and characteristically mercurial in the best sense - "fast as greased lightning", as my folks might have said.
Bill's barely mentioned the new collection, so it'd be easy to miss, even if his place is one of your regular stops. I haven't read through the whole thing yet (it's a hefty chapbook), but what I've read tells me it's worth delving into. Go and delve.
