Peter Conners. He is both a poet and fiction writer who's work has been featured in Mississippi Review, Salt Hill, Beloit Fiction Journal, Luna, Sentence, 88: A Journal of Contemporary American Poetry, Paragraph, and, Quick Fiction, among other publications. Books include, The Names of Winter, While In The World , and he edited PP/FF: An AnthologyWhat work of Conners I have read seems intricate as to detail. Bite The Pomegranate would be a great example as to his predisposal to catching all that is about and pulling it into his images as he writes.
The Poet Washes Dishes is a favorite of mine. Here he gets a lot of mileage out of his detail.
"The soft downturn of the ladle handle soared and fell like the epic point guard's final jump shot..."
" Water turned from periods to semi-colons and, finally, ellipses."
Here are a few other poems by Peter Conners:
