"but then where could he go in the world"
Read/Post Comments (0)
Subject line from W.S. Merwin's A Message to Po Chu-I, posted at the New Yorker site this week.
Also there: Barbara Ras's Washing the Elephant
At readwritepoem.org, Ted Kooser features Jean Nordhaus's A Dandelion for my Mother, and Robert Peake discusses being a poet every day, the latter which I liked mainly for its quotes from Robert Haas ("Take the time to write. You can do your life's work in half an hour a day" - debatable, yes, but I concur with the basic principle) and Gustave Flaubert ("Be steady and well-ordered in your life, that you may be fierce and original in your work").
