There are many good poems. There are, however, very few perfect poems. While we understand perfection is subjective, why is Brigit Pegeen Kelly’s Song a perfect poem among poets? In this craft talk, Nicole Sealey examines Song, its leaps, sounds, images, digressions, syntax, and embellishments. Understanding the forces behind this beloved poem can give us strategies for writing our very own perfect poem.
