    Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
    October, by Patrick Kavanagh

    O leafy yellowness you create for me
    A world that was and now is poised above time,

    Kavanagh is an excellent poet; in Ireland he's often ranked in the top 3
    of Irish poets, behind only Yeats and Heaney. But for some reason he's
    not that well known in Canada or the U.S.

    My friend Travis McCracken is a Kavanaugh fan, turned me on to a few of his poems.
