Nims, John Frederick 1997; 1998
A Formal Feeling Comes: A program celebrating multi-formalism
with Debra Bruce, Annie Finch, Paulette Roeske, and Cin Salach
Glossies of Eden? The slim beached curled
Between rocks and the frill of foam–that’s when
There’s thunder of tunnels and the underworld.
– John Frederick Nims, “from the rapido: la spezia-genova”

My gun, the color of winter rain and thunder,
Is algebra, poetics, and love’s image.
All which a tired soul would and cannot, this is.
– John Frederick Nims, “Colt Automatic”
