Yehuda Amichai (tr. from Hebrew by Chana Bloch and Stephen Mitchell):
I always look for the quote, but I also always go back and say the new to me name of the poet I am meeting for the first time. What a collection of loss, leaving and the way we come apart.
What a gorgeous curation these. I will be turning them over for days. Thank you.
