I don't really care for this poem by Brian Culhane.
I don't like the length of the lines - the boxiness of the poem. The allusions seem non-ideal and put in for show. I guess you can make the case for their academic nature, but using terms like 'Gates of Horn' and 'Etruscan' just put me off.
Honestly, this poem seems like it has too many words - a fine draft, but that it should be edited down to its essence before you can call it done.
Favorite line: "I watch them now bend low to their work, smudging ink"
