Tess Taylor on Gardening and Poetry
"I honor the abundance in poems, too—the way they dig beneath ordinary life and sprout to remind us of life's power and shimmer. They also remind us that we build the good ecosystem together; that in it, we are each nourished and fed. I keep thinking of the words of Cornel West: 'Justice is what love looks like in public.' Gardens are what hope looks like in public. Poems are also a form of public hope."

What Sparks Poetry:
Dana Levin on Reading Prose
"I thought instantly of two books by philosophers who have offered me enduring lenses: The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard and I and Thou by Martin Buber. Then I flashed on the bowl of dead bees at the end of Robert Hass’s famous poem." |
