Tara, It's so fun to witness someone else's experience of the world, the ecosystems, the seasons. And to virtually, through their words, live somewhere else for a moment.
I am intrigued by the line 'softens the surface to something less fragile'. It's a beautiful line. And there feels like there is a zen truth in it that applies beyond roads. It's actually something I'm going to meditate on for a while.
And I agree, Substack is a beautiful community to be part of as a writer. :)
What a great post, I'm honored to be included! Love the poem, am intrigued by Kate Christensen's book, and will definitely be reading Amber Tamblyn's post later today. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, as always, Tara! "the edges crumble like cornbread" is a great line!
I've enjoyed your older (oldest!) poems recently. It's interesting to see the themes and threads you've been working with over the years.
