The monster hour
The black square she wears
The center of worthwhile things
What I found in the forest
Islands in the black night
A band of owls moved into town
Letter to the late baron
The lung and haircut
Halloween
Full of knives
What I found in the forest
The bear mutilation
What everyone started wearing
I'm not Carlos
[actual symbol not reproducible]
I've since folded this poem into an airplane
Far from Marlene
Part-animal zoo
The constellation room
The town killer
I've always loved you in the sand
Underneath William McKinley
Abraham Lincoln's death scene
The whale
The things that surround us
Postcard from the Arctic Ocean
If great lakes
Policy for whales
Experiment in invisibility
Experiment in geography
The truth about Canada
Sea of Japan
Where I go at night
[Opera singer]
Last president of a dark country
Last president's address
A voice box with words still in it
