1. On Cervantes' "Banana"
I very much enjoyed this poem but thought some parts to be unconnected and unnecessary. The second part (part II i guess) reminded me of the scene in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" when the banana farmers in th city of Macondo rebelled and were gunned down by the company. This section was very affecting and could stand on it's own.
2. On "Evening" by Booth
I throughly enjoyed this poem and can't find one. The next poem i write i will try to hav the 2 line stanza form. I like it's controlled choppiness. The voice, for some reason, reminds me of James Joyce or one of the auhor Irsh modernists. Very good.
