And two 2012 poems by Kevin Powers:

"Death, Mother and Child" and "After Leaving Maguire Veteran's Hospital for the Last Time"

Those poems make me look forward to his book. It's not the pretty language but rather the way he moves from topic to topic in such a fresh way.

btw, I read Every Day by David Levithan today, and it was great!

The one thing I really didn't like about Every Day: lay instead of lie. WTF, Random House editors??????
