Poem

Author: Rob Halpern

Publisher: Oxeye Press

Written on the eve of his daughter’s birth, Rob Halpern’s “POEM” is a prayer for her arrival. Weaving its lines through echoes of Shelley's “The Triumph of Life" and Stein's Tender Buttons, these verses sing the name of one about-to-be-born in the plenitude of that name's emptiness and the fullness of its form.
