Four Poems, Petros Bourgos
Received a short while back from David Miller's Kater Murr's Press, four poems by Petros Bourgos, who died in a swimming accident last summer while vacationing on Karystos, Greece. David's moving editorial tribute to Petros (and to Michael Thorp, who also died in November last year) is in the latest issue of Poetry Salzburg Review here; you can also read Petros' four poems here. Time for me to thank David publicly for honoring Petros in this way.

Record
The fingers
On the rim,
As the poet once
Said of the grooves
Cut by the ropes
Into the stones
Ringing the lip
Of the well.
NB: The poet is Dionysios Solomos from The Woman of Zakynthos; see also George Seferis, Mythistorema, poem number two.
