Two Poems: Leafy Green Vegetables and Coffee Sestina

Author: 

ANNIE ZAIDI [1]

ABOUT THE POEM These long poems by Annie Zaidi declare their subjects in their titles: greens and coffee. But in both poems these substances (and the poetic forms employed to describe them) work a long trail through particular human stories and structures. At first it seems as if the speaker of “Leafy Green Vegetables” is composing an innocent health-homily, the kind that might be used to educate children in the rigours of healthy eating and in the pleasures of language and rhyme.
