Bromige's "Against Love" - it must be a play on Creeley's title, no? The poems look that way, as "In Time," for example: "At the last minute / it will come // too late to prevent the unfolding / begun long before its arrival -- ." Or better yet, "Free to believe / whatever / will I will // I am, I / have that right / I've heard." Okay, this comes from the earliest poems in the collection.
