Momentum from Momentumby Catherine Doty submitted by Renee Ashley I think "Momentum" is a little masterpiece. Every time I reread it I'm astonished at how short it is -- in my mind it's enormous, full of color and action and humor and sadness and voice and life and funny, painful truth. It's so rich! I sincerely believe that this kind of poem, the "personal" narrative that grows so much larger and more meaningful than the anecdotal, is the most difficult to write. I hold this poem up as the ideal -- to myself and to my students.
