Poetry. This elegant long poem examines love, intimacy, relationships and other details of life. Already it is quite hot here but people elsewhere/ say it is entirely pleasant. If everyone all/ at once turned away./ If no one were here exactly./ If the babies had not been, had not come home.// A neighbor heard the window glass shatter./ A policeman saw the flames but saw no one outside.// Carrying the mandolin gently. The boy was drawn/ to the old instrument, streaked with soot... Beth Joselow is an Assistant Professor at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C. SELF REGARD is hand-sewn, with covers of fine handmade Japanese papers.
