Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana
"Hot Afternoons Have Been In Montana" by Eli Siegel begins with these lines: Quiet and green was the grass of the field,
The sky was whole in brightness,
And O, a bird was flying, high, there in the sky,
So gently, so carelessly and fairly.
Here, once, Indians shouted in battle,
And moaned after it...
The poetry of Eli Siegel impelled William Carlos Williams to say, "He belongs in the very first rank of our living artists." Poetry by Eli Siegel is online in EliSiegel.net and the full text of "Hot Afternoons in Montana" can be found there.
