Better than Packard By Brenton Booth

I read him

the eight

poems

I had

written

over the

past two

weeks.

He liked

the 

shortest,

hardest

one best.

The one

none of

the editors

would ever

want,

or even

try to

understand.

My friend

with the

calloused 

palms--

the world's

greatest

editor.

Brenton Booth lives in Sydney, Australia. Poetry of his has appeared in Gargoyle, New York Quarterly, North Dakota Quarterly, Chiron Review, Main Street Rag, Naugatuck River Review, Heavy Feather Review, and Nerve Cowboy. He has two full length collections available from Epic Rites Press.
