"Chez S.," Emmanuel Moses

by Ron Hogan
At S's I found a book
With a blue leaf drawn
On the cover.

Your name was inside,
Followed by another's.
I bought it
Faithful and jealous.

From Last News of Mr. Nobody, which excerpts from five volumes of Moses's poetry, translated into English and published in America for the first time, leading to speculation that he'll be "the first major Jewish poet of the new generation."
