A Poet’s Concerns

Because I am writing about a flood in 1874, and because there is flood outside my friend’s door, I think of this quote:

“The Poet turns to the natural world, pays close attention, and is rewarded with instruction.”

-Mark Doty, The Art of Description (p.16)

Indeed.  May the waters here and Boulder, Colorado, teach us to pay attention and reward us with new knowledge.
