great poetry

a list of my favorite poets would have to include wendell berry, mary oliver, anna swir, and lori coale. you might be asking, "lori coale?" yep. lori coale.

she hits hard with emotional truth and wisdom and images that make my mouth dry. i wish i could do what she does, but instead i read her poetry and dream:

she's returning to the published world after a hiatus, so take a moment and read these two poems. see if you feel as starry-eyed as i do.
