A striking piece of visual poetry: its stepped spacing and separated fragments enact the very idea of variation, making each word feel newly charged and provisional. The language moves wonderfully between delicacy—“bashful epithets”—and abundance—“a panoply / of / qualities”—before arriving at the intriguing tension of “the fabulous / believable.”
