Take a look at this poet

Sara Deniz Akant has eight poems featured here by Pen America, and two more appear in jubilat 25 (not yet online).  I am new to her writing, and I'm intrigued by it.  The two poems in jubilat ring like Hopkins: that is, their sprung rhythm.  I hope to hear them read.

Here's a sample from jubilat . . .

Gammadin

the rollings changed, gone
as soon as they came to
conceal, dense trees.

so often the case in our dreams.

there seemed no end to these dimless
woods : immense, in-hammered,
in solid-start : in gammadin we stood.

A good start to summer reading.  Looking forward to the rest of the season!
