[New-Poetry] Backwards poetry

[Bernadette Geyer]

Martin Amis' book Time's Arrow comes to mind, but no poems. Sorry.

For a classroom exercise, I'm looking for poems that reverse time.  Not ones that focus on memories, but ones that actually describe time being reversed, like movies run backward, etc.

Got any favorites?



Not a poem, but there's that great scene in Slaughterhouse Five where Billy watches a war documentary backwards.  Also J. G. Ballard's story "Time of Passage."  There's a poem by Robert Pack in the old Mark Strand anthology, but I can't find it now. _______________________________________________
