Poet’s workI know nothing about Niedecker, so I was happy to find a slideshow of her life here.
Grandfather
advised me:
Learn a trade
I learned
to sit at desk
and condense
No layoff
from this
condensery
Head over to Secrets and Sharing Soda for this week's Round-Up. Isn't that a great name for a blog?

Poet as condenser -- love it!!
Thanks for sharing the link to the slide show. I'd never heard of her either.
Only the truth shall remain, distilled version of life. Nice job for poets indeed. ;-)
I went to www.abe.com and found a reasonably priced copy of her Collected Works. I'm really looking forward to reading it.
I'm glad you like my blog name. We have Joni Mitchell to thank for it.
I love this poem. There's just something about the word condensery that rubs me the right way.
