    “Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)

    Hath made the flinty and steel couch of war
    My thrice-driven bed of down.”
