Poem

I picked up my copy of 180 More, and instead of picking a random poem, I decided to start with the first one:
"First Hour," by Sharon Olds.
This is a lovely, jarring poem that lifts me out of my immediate life into the moment she's describing.
I immediately wanted to know more of her work, and found a large collection at PoetryFoundation.org. I haven't read them all yet - I want to take them slowly - but I'm anticipating more surprising, welcome alien images.
