Poetry. LIVING INSTEAD was published by North Point Press in 1991 and is now available from Talisman House and from SPD. William Bronk has been called one of America"s greatest living poets (Compound Eye). The way Columbus or someone earlier/ came to a place to be called a New World/ though not more new than the old world was/ --there all along and people living there--/ is like the way a poem is come upon:/ you think there"s something there, go see what. (from Exploration).
