...innocence/guilt...

"He has the unfortunate habit of sleeping soundly only, yes only...
--this I won't tell you-- but here it is anyway;
only, when a writer in exile speaks
You don't know the new country for sure
and now you hardly know the old one either"

I think I might have to take the class with Reza Baraheni after all, hopefully if it is being offered next year. I'm still reading his poem in this year's Hart House Review, today again, two days later. If you are in Toronto, pick up a copy at Hart House on the U of T campus. His poem is fascinating, the interview enlightening.

There are also some other wonderful pieces in it. Sadly, Veronika Bryskiewics does not have a piece in the review, but the quality of the selections shows that she is as talented an editor as she is a poet.
