Subscribe to The Sharpener
The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes craft pieces on craft, writing problems, information about professional literacy and labor issues for writers, and detailed citations and analyses of the poems I’m reading.
Sean, I want to join with everyone in saying thank you so much for choosing just these poems this morning. The beauty in these poems, and how can we call it anything but, is maybe not healing, but a little rest for the wounds, like Amichai said.
All deeply touching poems.
