What Sparks Poetry:
Susan Tichy on "In Country That Is Rough, But Not Difficult, One Sees Where One Is & Where One Is Going at the Same Time"
"My home mountain range, the Colorado Sangre de Cristo, is an 80-mile fault-block uplift, with ten summits over 14,000 feet....Walking there for the last forty years has helped me learn that place is neither fixed nor purely spatial, but temporary and temporal, contingent and unstable, an intersection of forces I happen to encounter (and take part in) during my brief time on earth and briefer time as walker through a landscape. Here & now is a knot, and all its strands are moving." |

"The Humble Confidence of Seamus Heaney"
"Fame came to him young, but when necessary, Heaney practiced evasiveness, like the outlaws on the run who regularly inhabit his work, or the mad King Sweeney of Irish legend, condemned to live the life of a migrant bird, whom he chose as an alter ego."
