The Lotus Flowers by Ellen Bryant Voigt

4.0

Lovely, accessable poetry. I thought The Cusp was espcially moving as a dialogue with part 2 of October by Louise Glück, whom this collection is dedicated to. My other favorites were A Song, The Waterfall, and Dancing with Poets.

"If they are frightened,

if they also grieve,
let them comfort one another,

I cannot help them, I am riding
each enormous wave of this absence

that knows no further shore."
