THE ILLUSION Consider our mad loves: J's for B that he only knew after she ripped out the hook. Smell rain and whose name do you say? G and R seem okay but A's ripping the cover off T's book, the cashier then asking if he'd like a damage discount and who doesn't deserve a damage discount? The heart itself apparently can be eaten, singed on a bed of baby greens. Half step, half step, clap, throw the hive upon the lap. A silver head floats in the corn. At least M has his daughter. A silver head floats at the portal. Like a dried gourd, the rattle K makes. The dream bread falls through the dream hands. Two seconds it took you to do what you did to me. Here's a breast, an eye. Here's a necessity. Flinchclatter dovespun sundrove heartsprung and sometimes the wreckage assumes recognizable shapes. Sure it does. Touch this. Maybe your father was right to hate me. I was running as fast as I could. Maybe faster. Forever and forever and forever. Back Dia Art Foundation

The awards are from the Witter Bynner Foundation in conjunction with the Library of Congress. "Besides being wonderful poets, both of these people have personal qualities that will enable them to contribute to their communities and to poetry through the Witter Bynner Fellowships," said Mr. Pinsky, who made the selections on Nov. 25, 1997. The fellowships are to be used to support the writing of poetry. Only two things are asked of the fellows: that they organize a local poetry reading in the spring of 1998 (in Los Angeles and St. Louis, respectively) and that they participate in a poetry reading at the Library of Congress sometime in the first half of October. The local readings will incorporate Mr. Pinsky's Favorite Poem Project, which calls for Americans, both ordinary and luminary, to read poems by their favorite poets for a video and tape archive.

Awards Calendar Journal Poetry in Motion ... Resources What is American About American Poetry? Carol Muske-Dukes What are your predictions for American poetry in the next century? Here is my prediction for poetry in the next century. I predict that we will produce an American Pope (No, not the guy in the funny hat who hates birth control)an American Alexander Pope, male or female, who will rise up among us and launch a bonafide satirical tradition in Ameircan poetry. We are long overdue for some poetry parody, satirical examinations, for example, of those of us who write it, of how it is written, of how the wheels of poetry-commerce turn. It's time for an American Dunciad and merciful heavens, where will we find the candidates? And I predict we will begin to have some serious (literary) criticism of poetry by poets. We will have some debate, even (!) actual dissent. Katha Pollitt, in the current (May 11, 1998) issue of The Nation points out that there is "so little open dissent in American poetry that Mary Karr caused a scandal when she suggested in print that Amy Clampitt "used too many adjectives". Is that not a call to arms? Especially when there is so much poetry being written today: "Fire in each eye, and papers in each hand, / They rave, recite and madden round the land."

Waleed J. Iskandar It might Be Said (by Carol Muske-Dukes) This poem is dedicated to the memory of my late husband, the actor David Dukes, who died on this day one year ago—and to all those who perished in the September 11th tragedy in New York City. The place where private grief joins the public community of sorrow is the place where (I hope) this poem resides. This poem contains an image which was given to me by someone who was in the Pentagon at the time of the attack: the pedestal upon which a dictionary lay open, standing in the rubble. When steel disintegrates, when metal wings tipped with insignia explode into flame, when the glittering columns buckle and fall inward the mind interrogates the particular for relief. But the young woman turning to the coffee-maker to fill her second cup, the bond trader flashing a thumbs-up at the monitor, the fire- fighter lifting the charred body in his arms—all become ash at the same instant. It might be said that nothing permanent is left of them. It might
