Judge's Comments:

                       

Jack Gilbert said “irregularity is at the heart of all good poetry.” I agree. This poem is full of  sudden conjunctions and artful

disconnects. It opens the mind to multiple tracks, seductive pathways, shifts and changes that remind me of a ghazal’s artifices,

but this is no ghazal! I was startled and delighted by the shifts from “Ching dynasty pottery shards” to “16th Century Goa,”

and on to “Chopin’s garden.” The poem ends with the single word, “Transplantable,” and I love the shadow of “translatable”

hiding behind it. The leaps here cohere and the mind of poetry follows them from stun to stun. I was very impressed by

the writer’s accomplished audacity.
