I measure my own strength
against the weight of the questions i carry
and find the questions heavier than ever this year,
although my heart is wider.
– Alison Luterman
I’ve been reading poetry lately – Once, by Meghan O’Rourke, The Largest Possible Life, by Alison Luterman, and enoughwater, by Maya Stein. It’s all ringing in my head, but these lines more than any.
Yes. Agree completely, for me too.
I am always amazed at how much can be rendered in condensed fashion, particularly in the world of poetry, with all its music.
