Abstract

Reading an unfamiliar poem in the “you” form, most of us will be preoccupied with the question of who is being addressed. Is it we ourselves, or someone else? For example, at the opening of Galway Kinnell’s poem “Wait,” we read: Wait, for now. Distrust everything if you have to. But trust the hours. Haven’t they carried you everywhere, up to now?
