	Advanced Search > Palm to Palm Selected by Elaine Bleakney Description Palms in poems as high, green & tropical. Then not, absolutely not. A palm tree in a poem as a silent chorus member to more audible, altering cousins (Levis). A palm as dressing for a flashy drink (Powell). The big Florida palm in the mind (Mister Stevens). Then Dorothea Tanning, blowing kisses with no hands--up to palm trees? And some of these palm-poems talking or leaping from (Blake) the closer mysteries of human hands.   Poetry • Auguries of Innocence by William Blake • No Palms by Dorothea Tanning • Nomad Exquisite by Wallace Stevens • Spontaneous Me by Walt Whitman • Styx by Dana Levin • The Earth Opens and Welcomes You by Abdellatif Laâbi • The Letter by Mary Ruefle • The Widening Spell of the Leaves by Larry Levis • Voyages II by Hart Crane • [the cocktail hour finally arrives: whether ending a day at the office] by D. A. Powell
