I’m so grateful to see poems here by both Phil Levine and Jane Mead, my beloved teachers… and on the theme of father loss. What a wonderful gathering of poems… thank you, Sean.
First: Every time, no matter many times, I look at the graphic for your upcoming class I laugh out loud.
Second: Each these poems on death and inheritance caused me to pause and re-read, made me wonder about characters and situations. All so good. But Philip Levine's specificity engrossed me. Reading it was like watching a film.
