The Best Poem Of Fred Tarr

Poem For The Occasion Of Staehood For North Carolina, November 21,1789

Here on lookout point,
demarcation of three states,
this spare, slim elbow of land
gloved in a demonstration of green convergence
parades the grandeur of cavernous June


Burgeoning sweet flame
and ravaging viburnum
nations the aching heart,
Praises the grave and the grave's sky.
