HAILEY LEITHAUSER

poetrysince1912:

O ludicrous swoon, O blind hindsight,
O torching of bridges and blood boiled white,
O sparrow and arrow and hell below,
O, she says, because she loves to say O.

—Poetry, July/August 2009

Listen to and read the entire poem at poetryfoundation.org. Hailey Leithauser, the winner of the 2012 Emily Dickinson First Book Award, read “O, She Says” at the Pegasus Awards ceremony last night.

Favorite line? Mine is the second here.
