"Certainty in these poems is recognized as a violence, and one with a quiver of attendant dangers, like oppression, delusions of grandeur and of superiority, and the profound poetic risk of not seeing the ever-shifting world, with all its joys and sorrows, that is always in front of you, and never standing still."
HUGE thanks to Eryn Green for his incredibly generous, tender reading of Indian Summer Recycling (the magnificent field, 2019) that begins with and returns to Emerson's "Circles," an essay that Kirsten and I incorporated into our wedding vows.
