I am so honored! My favorite lines(for their rhythm) are lines 1-3 of stanza 2.
Thanks, Roberta!
Lovely, Karen. (I miss Elizabeth Oakes!! Thanks for the memory.)
You’re welcome, Sylvia. I loved her poetry. After reading “Leave Here Knowing,” I did a review of it, and an interview with her at Poetry Matters blog. She was so kind to work with, and so appreciate of how I read and “really understood” what she was trying to do with those poems.
