The Thief of Yellow Roses

By Jonah Raskin

Thirty-six new poems by the writer and critic Jonah Raskin.

Pre-poem Poem:

You call yourself a poet, write poems and

perform them in public, but now you

don't want to write poems with the

first person pronoun "I," which has

turned into a straightjacket, even as

the earth has turned into an oven,

and so you now write parataxis

poems to cool down, break the

ties that bind you and seek roses

everywhere.
