I particularly like the deflating Santas in “Elegy for Beotch.” I suppose there’s a danger that, if the images are too interesting, they will distract readers from the poems, but if well chosen there are nice opportunities for resonance. And, generally, they’re more interesting than looking at someone reading at a lectern!
