I had the great honor of having Vievee Francis lead my Breadloaf workshop a few years ago, and she encouraged me to aspire to make unique worlds and symbols that can be returned to. Vievee’s inspiration sparked my desire in “God” to make a world where there could be many divine entities, but the most desired one for the speaker is the most unavailable which sustains his heartbreak and loss.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with Our Readers
For National Poetry Month this year, Poetry Daily decided to turn the spotlight on readers of poetry: who we know are especially important, who, through the power of their attention, collaborate in the making of a poem’s meaning and worth. Which poem, we asked all of you—in our current archive of more than two thousand poems featured on the site since it moved to George Mason University in 2018—made you think, surprised you, moved you, or changed your world just a little? |
