Brautigan book of poems

This book was published in 1970 by Delacorte (Seymour Lawrence imprint). The woman on the cover reminds me of tennis player Kim Clijsters, and the photo is my favorite part of the book.

Poems I bookmarked while getting ready to return the book, in their entirety:

Critical Can Opener

There is something wrong
with this poem. Can you
          find it?


Lions Are Growing like Yellow Roses on the Wind

Lions are growing like yellow roses on the wind
and we turn gracefully in the medieval garden
        of their roaring blossoms.
              Oh, I want to turn.
              Oh, I am turning.
              Oh, I have turned.
                    Thank you.


April 7, 1969

I feel so bad today
that I want to write a poem.
I don't care: any poem, this
          poem.


All Secrets of Past Tense Have Just Come My Way

All secrets of past tense have just come my way,
but I still don't know what I'm going to do
        next. This entry was originally posted at https://zirconium.dreamwidth.org/183586.html.
