Harold Norse’s “To the Hustler”

A blogger posts a Harold Norse poem! Not many folks know about Norse, but he’s likely going to be one of the poets I study for my diss.  The blogger writes, “’To the Hustler,’” [Norse's poem] always keeps me on my toes because the poem is not strong enough to hold a powerful message, or hold onto emotion.  The poem searches for it — desperately searches — the search is heartbreaking.”  I’m not sure if the blogger thinks the poem is purposefully failing in its search, or not but in any case click on over to read the poem and judge for yourself.
