Bowen Takes a Gander at Zimmer

Today I’ve been reading Paul Zimmer’s Family Reunion: Selected and New Poems. While some of the poems don’t float my poetry boat, some of the poems really are delights.  “Zimmer’s Last Gig,” “I Go Out in the Long Nights,” “An Enzyme Poem for Suzanne” and ”Wanda and Zimmer” (to name but a few) are especially tasty cakes.
