12 O'Clock News from Geographyby Elizabeth Bishop submitted by Beebe Barksdale-Bruner Why I love Elizabeth Bishop's 12 O'Clock News from Geography. This poem is the world on a desktop. It's her world (writing) and the pitiable, mysterious world we live in. Her imagination astonishes me; the crumpled soldiers in winter gear description, for instance, related in news-speak language. ie: "God" is looking down on all this and finding no excuse.
