News at Eleven: A comic villanelle composed

of unintentionally funny headlines includes such lines as "Prostitutes Appeal to Pope," and "Miners Refuse to Work After Death."
"An Empty Suit" is set in a thrift shop where the poet plays detective, conjuring a man from clues of "smoky dove gray" fabric, "the frayed bottoms of the trousers," and "two red pills/in the right-hand jacket pocket—."
