The mall-guys got hold of me and put themselves into it, almost co-stars, with their tattoos and nose rings, all of which struck me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am watching the snow for deer and fox, for animals that show up against it, that show up because of it, drawn from their shadowy exclusiveness into the community of hunger. Here in the house, looking out the window, I am more isolated than they are. I think about thinking about watching them, another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a lot of space within the word “clarity.”  I’m thinking about how poets work for or work against clarity as they write. There’s a certain kind of clarity that seems imperative to me. Here’s something from an article by Matthew Zapruder in The Poet. He’s writing in praise of W.S.Merwin’s The Vixen:  “without clarity, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been in love with houses, even those I hated, which of course were the ones with all the possibilities. My grandparents lived next door to each other on South Garth Avenue—a settled and tree-lined neighborhood. One set of grandparents lived in House Beautiful (405 S. Garth) and the other in a beautiful house (403 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother would throw hunks of roast beef in the new-fangled pressure cooker and let the cap rock back and forth until the meat was pale and stringy. She would fry liver to leather, and produce slabs of round steak that required zealous chewing. We had frozen peas, frozen mixed vegetables, plain as God made [...]]]></description>

Here is a photo of me on the beach just two days ago. I was missing the snow and thinking about loss, about what [...]]]></description>

Is that really ‘all we know and all we need to know’? If they have all their cylinders firing, students get curious about what Keats means by truth, [...]]]></description>

Or, the only one I knew back then, with its guardian who had severe bones, who counted the books to the limit of six. I would climb the dark stairs on Saturdays to where they opened out into [...]]]></description>

I was reading a poem with flies in it, and that reminded me of that night we got out of our car at the motel in the Everglades, innocent as babes of the fact we’d booked during high fly season.
