Congratulations to Carcanet for paying equal attention to new poets and to modern classics. The Collected H.D., Mina Loy, William Carlos Williams, and Yvor Winters are all essential books, and Carcanet is doing a public service keeping them in print.

Teen Spies#Jane Yeh

Elijah, Helen, Paul and me
Clocked the cat by the bikesheds. 1.43.Kept an eye
Peeled for falsies. Hid in the bushes from aunt kay.
Made a dead letter drop and drank russian tea.

I'm the smallest; Elijah is our control.
Our mission? That's undercover for now. We can't tell
How this enigma will unfold, but we're so full
Of energy we can't come down.

We've got our own lingo and wear special suits-
Study the codebook, radio for supplies,
Draw our cryptic pictures, stay up all night.
We kill time waiting for our lives to start

With log notes: Saw a demented corgi piss
On someone's shoe. Shadowed D.F. back
To his flat. Observed a parrot sat
On someone's head. I am past

seventeen and have never been
kissed.
