Selected poems from a lifetime of published and unpublished poems by poet and translator William Elliott.Poems include:Deeper DarkThere is a dark deeperThan shadows' darkness:Remember the airBlanketing the pagesIn a closed book, whereDarkness is utter.Pointed OutA covey of quailFlushed from my brainFlutter to new coverHere in the bramble of a poem,Pretty well-camouflaged.What Distance GrewAbove the vacant lot streetlights arrangedThe night in floating parallelograms;Light licked along the wires, our voicesGreeted there and quarreled horizontallyBetween embarrassed poles, beyond the lights'Dominion. Beside a lake, above a hill,Ravens wrapped their claws around our costlyQuarreling and never knew what distanceGrew within their tight objective grasp.
