Chip Dameron
March 3, 2022
A crowd, a charm.
Wise men, wise monkeys.
No more strikes at home.
How good things come.
Sheets to the wind.
When fish and guests stink.
Semicircularly linked.
Odd, singular, multiple.
Lined and stanzaed: a poem.
Chip Dameron is the author of ten books of poetry. A forthcoming book, Relatively Speaking: Poems of Person and Place (Lamar University Literary Press), is a shared collection with Betsy Joseph. A member of the Texas Institute of Letters, he’s also been a Dobie Paisano fellow.
