novapsycheSo the place where I'm temping has called me back for the second full week. This is good, though I miss sleep. (In fact, I missed sleep so much that, were it not for my father, I would have slept in today by mistake.) They apparently like me, but they really need me--the office (a leasing office for a very large apartment community) is incredibly busy, and the staff is happy to have a temp who works hard with little supervision. I even ask for more work to do when I'm done.
I haven't been able to work much on new poems, but I have been reading here and there, which is good. I've read more Stevens, and I introduced myself to the works of Billy Collins (who was the national Poet Laureate from 2001-02). His lyricism is clear and lovely; I really like his style. I'll have to read more of his earlier work. (I read Sailing Alone Around the Room, his collected poems, published in 2001.)
In the meanwhile, I'll post a poem by Stevens, printed in 1936, in Ideas of Order.
