NER Ulysses Reading Series: National Poetry Month Edition - April 17, 7 PM, Humanities House, Middlebury College

The apple tree hangs full of issues
my child has issues
and I have them, such issues
huge problems, or pompoms
hard problems dead persons and field flowers
the wars too are hard foreign fields
we take some pomme-bombing
the apples falling hard then hardly
softly pommelling the earth they do not conquer
I am not in therapy or a territory
clonk bop thump plop

—translated by Iain Galbraith
