Some of Kido’ s poems begin with an ordinary fact, and it incites his poetic imagination. In this poem, he begins with the difference of how light looks to the eye of human and birds, and as we read the poem, we come to share the process of how he comes to the idea of the last line.

Ada Limón on "Wonder, Awe, and Mystery"
"Limón is writing a new poem that NASA says will be engraved on its Europa Clipper spacecraft, which is expected to launch next year and eventually do several flybys of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa....'The first term was all about figuring out who I was in this public role and what it is I wanted to accomplish. The second term is exciting because it's where the imagination meets reality,'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Claire Wahmanholm on "Deathbed Dream with Extinction List"
"I love writing abecedarians. I love that they make me reach for words I would not ordinarily reach for; I love that they gesture at abundance without exhausting it, that they leave more unsaid than said. I love that they open the doors of my existing knowledge and invite me into the dictionary, the thesaurus, the encyclopedia, any number of archives. I love how democratic they are: even the trickiest, least common letter must be used, and the heavy hitters may only appear once." |
