I hear a little Ammons in 'dust-blind.' '[T]he almond trees shed their blossoms' is probably a poem all by itself. The diction and everything is carefully given. '[R]arify / the casings of air.' Beautifully done. And I'm curious about what part of the world the photo comes from.
Beautiful, Chenot is a masterful creator of mood, tone, and imagery—Thank you for sharing these, Joseph.
Stunning! The imagery is so vivid and her voice so clear! Thank you for posting.
So striking yet soft. These poems have left me truly awe-struck.

Seeing the comments here was rather overwhelming. I'm so grateful the poems convey something of the experience. Thank you, and to Joseph. :-)
Having read these, I feel the need for a quiet window to look out of with no sense of time. Beautifully restrained.
