Sheboygan Poet Laureate Poem-A-Day 2026: May 13: Pitcher by Robert Francis

Añadido: 2026-05-17

[00:00:01]Good morning, Sheboygan.

[00:00:03]This is pitcher by Robert Francis.

[00:00:08]His art is eccentricity. His aim, how not to hit the mark he seems to aim at.

[00:00:15]His passion, how to avoid the obvious.

[00:00:18]His technique, how to vary the avoidance.

[00:00:22]The others throw to be comprehended. He throws to be a moment misunderstood, yet not too much. Not errant, errant, wild, but every seeming aberration willed. Not to, yet still still to communicate, making the batter understand too late.
