The new Emily Dickens-oh look a squirrel!

Lorine Niedecker is a very moving poet, and I love that her subject is almost always nature. When I (very seldom) write poems or short stories, it is also usually based in nature. The only thing about her work that I don't fully understand and don't like, is how her stanzas sometimes seem totally unconnected. The poem My Life By Water is sometimes connected between stanzas and when it is its barely a continuation of thought. It's as though when writing that poem she was experiencing ADD.  Some of her other poems are the same way, and it's hard to get an idea from what seems to be gibberish.
