Thirty-six new poems by the writer and critic Jonah Raskin. Pre-poem Poem: You call yourself a poet, write poems and perform them in public, but now you don't want to write poems with the first person pronoun "I," which has turned into a straightjacket, even as the earth has turned into an oven, and so you now write parataxis poems to cool down, break the ties that bind you and seek roses everywhere.
