The Man with Many Pens<\/em><\/h1>\n

Jonathan Wells<\/h2>\n

The Man with Many Pens<\/em> is about love\u2014\u201ca love that smells so much like blood\u201d\u2014and song\u2014\u201ca song that the oak leaves will not finish.\u201d These poems examine how a single love or a single song contains multiple personalities and contradictory forces, tensions and concordances. Beneath those poems such as \u201cThe Man with Many Pens,\u201d \u201cThe Six-Armed Musician\u201d and others that display the multiple complex emotions of love, there is a more naked, personal narrative.<\/p>\n

“Love’s Body”, from The Man with Many Pen<\/em>s:<\/p>\n

Love gives all its reasons\nas if they were terms for peace.\nLove is this but not that\nthat but not this.\nLove as it always was.\n\nBut there is no peace in the mountain\ncleft where the fruit bats scatter\nfrom the light.\nThere is no peace in the hollow\nwhen heat snuffs night's blue candle. \n\nThe outline of brown leaves \non the beach is the wind's body. \n\nA crow is squawking at the sun \nand the screech itself is dawn. \nLet me hear every perfect note. \nHow I loved that jasper morning.<\/pre>\n
