"description is revelation"..... striving for a poetry in which "there are elements... which are capillaries into the large brutal scheme of things, capillaries sucking the whole of the earth"......(seamus heaney, North)

"Yet in the midst of barbarism the artistic spirit persists, like a ghost or 'sheaf of light' in a blackened stubble field." (andrews, poetry of sh, 121)

I ate the day
Deliberately, that its tang
Might quicken me all into verb, pure verb.

(from oysters, sh)
