Just what I needed in my inbox this morning. I love all of these -- and Baker. I know Lynda's magnificent and heartbreaking poem well, also Doty's, and I'd read YK's, but the Ai and Williams are new to me -- and the Williams is amazing. I need to read more of him. Such brilliant poems and music. Thank you, Sean!
To have inspired so many poets!
What a legacy.

I think there must be a typo in the last line of the Mark Doty poem. Don't you think it should be "let go and why not"?not "let to and why not"?
But don't you think it's a typo? Not caught before publication?
Yes it should read “and you let go and why not”
That Lynda Hull poem...
