Frail-Craft by Jessica Fisher
We were at sea, together at risk, and he was a poor fisherman. He happened to fill the equation in the geometry of appetite I trace. And so you see it's not so much about the eye as whatever is made to serve the master who asks for wine, wants the pickled fruits de mer alongside the treatise on navigation and the maps that show what oceans hide.
“The only stability comes from the American poet’s alluring use of rhythm and sound..Reading this poem, I feel the warmth of someone’s breath speaking directly into my ear.”—Oluwaseun Olayiwola, The Daily Telegraph ‘Poem of the Week’
