THROUGH A WINDOW
by Norman Fischer
In his deadpan style, Fischer strikes a droll chord with the poem and the world together as “an object to be domesti- / cated one can grip / history in persons/ / places/tales/memory in looking / through distancespace at what’s / not gripped in hand.” Every few days for a year, these short, linked poems appeared on the page as the scene spread out before Fischer change.
