Transitions: YOU WANT TWO MORE WORDS?

Dear Reader,

Here are some words you may not know, because I just learned them, and maybe our vocabularies can grow together as we traverse these strange paralleled paths.
I found these in a poetry book I'm reading called Aim Straight at the Fountain and Press Vaporize, by poet Elizabeth Marie Young. I like it so far. The poems are mostly in prose. What are you guys reading lately?
