They contribute to two on-going sequences, \u003cem\u003eAllotments\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBlue Hills\u003c\/em\u003e, which alludes to the long-running domestic radio serial of the same name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are composed of the brief haiku-like poems that Duggan has made his own: impressions, mysterious conjunctions, oddities and contradictions, the small details that express large forces, as seen in his observations of the landscape, the weather, domestic and suburban settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the final section, \u003cem\u003eAfterimages\u003c\/em\u003e, Duggan offers descriptions of paintings and comments on artists, sometimes imagining what a particular artist might have done.
