The Forces of Plenty by Ellen Bryant Voigt

4.0

These are really lovely poems, and Eurydice in particular I know I will be returning to a lot. I can see why Voigt and Louise Glück were such good friends. My kind of poets :)

"Orpheus,
standing
between me and iridescent earth,
you turned to verify the hell
I was thrown to, and got what you needed for your songs.
They do not penetrate the grave,
I cannot hear them, I cannot know
how much you mourn."
