I love both of these poems so much. I enjoyed hearing you read them.

Synchronistically, the William Stafford poem was part of the inspiration for my latest lyric essay, which I just posted last night. I love when this kind of thing happens!

I keep re-reading "The Gate." It is hitting me so hard, especially the last line. What a beautiful find -- thank you for sharing these!

I am constantly amazed at how the right poems find us at the right time.
