poetry feast

let me tell you of last night!

a small gathering of people, some familiar, some not. books on every wall. a table spread with delicious things. poetry, poetry, poetry! aloud! voices rising, sweetening the air. thoughts ping-ponging silently, knowingly.


billy collins, wendell berry, madeleine l’engle, william carlos williams, lucy shaw, e.e. cummings...


in the expressions of these, i find refreshment. hilarity. wonder. anticipation.


it would be nice to read aloud more often. to each other. not rushing.
