Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!
I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.
Gorgeous poem, though.
I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.
Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.
Today I am reading Julia Cameron's Artist Way. I'm hoping it will help me get some Mojo back - in prep for grad school. I need to fill the well - quickly!
I'm working through Artist's Way with Rivermama and so far so good...I'm doing the daily pages, and have completed half of my artist date for this week. We start on "Week 1" on Saturday.
I'm also reading and loving/hating "Birds of a Lesser Paradise."
Birds ...well, it's one of those "Come on baby make it hurt so good" books. It's so incredibly sad I'm weeping all over the place, but it's so well done....! It's like Swamplandia but better.
Reading "Birds" on Scribd, which I also love, if it would only play nicer with my Kindle!
In other news - I fell in love this week with a new piece of technology. I want a Microsoft Surface. I love the way you can hand write with the stylus, which has a very pen like point. I wish they weren't so expensive! It would be so awesome for grad school.
