While I was at Bread Loaf this summer, I went to many readings–faculty, staff, students–and heard lots of different pieces, fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. One of the most memorable was a strange, stunning and wonderful poem by Cincinnati poet Matt Hart. Even after all this time I still remember the poem very well. I found out later that it appeared in a chapbook called Revelated. I don’t read as much poetry as I could (or should) but this is one collection that I definitely plan on getting. Check it out.
