"This Dream The World Is Having About Itself" By Carolyne Wright

It was really hard to choose between these two poems. I first read "This Dream The World Is Having About Itself" and then had to read the other because I didn't really understand it at first. I reread both a few times and decided I enjoyed this one the most.
The thing I like most about "This Dream The World Is Having About Itself" is the lines/stanza breaks. The sentences continue to the next stanza but if you look at one stanza, there is meaning behind each part. For example:

"we were sisters at the prairie's edge: I
who dreamed between sage-green pages, and you

a girl who feared you'd die in you twenties.
Both of us barefoot, wearing light summer

dresses from the Thirties, our mother's good
old days, when she still believed she could live"

You can see it in the lines here. I especially like that last part "when she believed she could still live". These line/stanza breaks give the piece something, some character,  that I love.
I also love the moving through decades. We cover a lot of time in this poem but it works for the piece.
