“I have found myself where I never was, dream- drowning and entering the memory of all cries made by the sudden cramp of love, feeling my heart swell against each rib of a remembered light.”— Dave Smith, from “Sea Change: The Rented House at Seal Rock, Oregon,” Floating on Solitude: Three Volumes of Poetry (University of Illinois Press, 1996)




“What will suffice for a true-love knot? Even the rain?”— Agha Shahid Ali, from “Ghazal,” Rooms Are Never Finished (W. W. Norton, 2002)

“I was like that: visible invisible visible invisible.”— Alice Oswald, from “Full Moon” published in Poetry (via farmwitch)
