Bryan Narendorf

BOOK I OF “THE ILIAD”: Διὸς βουλή / THE WILL OF ZEUS

is just the will of the poet

to make lines as a captain

calling his men lines

them up, and stragglers jostle

into place to get this shit

straightened out, and they wait

as armies everywhere

and always do, as the poet

waits to be musesmacked.

Bryan Narendorf lives in Philadelphia, Pa, with his wife and their daughter. He teaches in, and serves as the chair of, the English Department at La Salle University.
