Call them what you will - two-liners, couplets, distichs. Pairs is a small book of very small poems. There are - who was counting in the doing - one hundred and eleven of them. A pair, that is, two lines, are enough; "Where's the rest?" doesn't get asked. The poems provide diversity too.

Call them what you will - two-liners, couplets, distichs. Pairs is a small book of very small poems. There are - who was counting in the doing - one hundred and eleven of them. A pair, that is, two lines, are enough; "Where's the rest?" doesn't get asked. The poems provide diversity too. One may be close to an aphorism, another is a lyric yelp, and yet another a see-saw of observation and assessment. Taken as a group, and singly at times, the poems can be by turns anguished, exultant, contemplative, laughing..
