So many people need this kind of expert guidance, including my students. I plan to have my university students watch this before we start our poetry unit. Thank you for providing an intro that makes poetry feel less scary for those who are new to it.
If you have to "like" it....it's not poetry....poetry is is like music distinct personal and bridging emptiness and solitude of existence....dasein...
Sign me up for the second coming of the trees!
I did not know this poem of Berry's, so thanks for sharing it.
And I love that our minds were on the same wavelength this week. :)

Kellie, this makes me so, so happy! Thank you for telling me.
The wind will do without corners- that's one line that stood out to me. Love it.
Susan, yes! It’s surprising and rich, and throws us a little off-balance. Wonderful line.
I love the way poetry washes over you, as you said. Thank you for writing this! It's inspiring.
Thank you for reading and listening!
Beautiful work. Keep it up ❤️
Thank you!
This is one of my favorite books on poetry: When Poems Prayer by Marilyn McEntyre. https://a.co/d/bJAQIo2
That one is on my to-read list, courtesy of you!
I also love the One Year Book of Poetry. It has a poem and commentary for each day. Another spiritually-themed one. https://a.co/d/1ax3vaU
