Poetry

————1

An atom
is a fantastic
abacus,

a self-measuring
gadget.

 

————2

God finds
so many ways

of counting
up to one.

 

 


Rae Armantrout’s most recent poetry collection is Finalists (Wesleyan). Her book Versed won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award. She is the current judge of the Yale Younger Poets Award.
