Have you ever read “Kora in Hell” by William Carlos Williams? It was an experiment that stands out in his catalogue. On the top of the page is the poem; on the bottom of the page, his thoughts.
I was thinking of a new feature called “The Poem I am Living with Today.” It would be kind of like that…the poem, and then the thoughts on the poem, which could be a conversation amongst readers.
I was thinking we could start with this one:
sunday afternoon
as the ball game ends
geese return to the outfield

could be . . . back in antiquity the site of the ballpark
was a habitat for geese & those who returned to the outfield
were instinctually visiting that sacred place of their ancestors.
how’s that for profound mister wilson ?
