May 7


Home improvement is the death of poetry. Youth sports are the death of poetry. Illness is the death of poetry. Day-old ducks are the death of poetry. Kay Ryan was asked if she thought being Poet Laureate would make it more difficult to write. “No,” she said. “I think it will make it impossible.”

Bowls of spider web
like hammocks strung in the grass:
fairy encampment.
