I love A.S. King's surrealism and the way she pushes against convention for effect.

My favorite is ASK THE PASSENGERS, but GLORY O'BRIEN is also a good one for our current times.<br />Poetry, as you say, is a perfect example of the use of limits--it's as if once we've defined the fenceline, we feel free to romp inside it.Jennifer R.
