Thank you for this lovely comment! I'm glad you found this, and that you found it useful.
There are very few poets who manage to successfully reach out and curl their fingers about that singular commonality of humanness that each and every one of us contains; Siken does so with such ease.
yesyesyesyes, that's exactly right, you put this so well.
thank you for this :) i couldn't sleep last night with half-remembered fragments of scheherazade running through my head, such a relief and a joy to find it and more. can't wait to get reading the rest.
Stumbled upon this by way of a Google Search as well! Saying Your Names was the first Siken poem I came across so long ago, and then You are Jeff(!) and just today Snow and Dirty Rain.
Once again, I'm so glad to hear people are able to find this post! Good luck in your quest to find Crush, I had to get Borders to order it in for me, but you might be able to find it on Amazon or something?
