I liked reading this, Lindsey. I'm a Poem Person so that will be my favorite section! I went way deep last night into Auden's "For the Time Being." At 10pm, when I would have been in bed, I found myself at the kitchen table reading an analysis of the poem and listening to David Kern read it on The Daily Poem podcast. At that moment, I thought "I'm not trying to like poetry or be into this. I just do and I am." It made me happy to feel that. So I will be very excited to read any poems you post. I feel like I am in a state of hiding (like your last BTT post) and I am not letting many voices in these days, but I am keeping space for yours. With love and thanks, Ginger
I think it sounds very smart to limit what you are taking in at times. A friend once told me creative people have to have seasons of "opening" and seasons of "closing." Without the closing seasons, we can't make anything of what we've learned while we were open.
P.S. I wanted to name a child Auden, but Brian vetoed it.
