...because Louise Glück uses the phrase "a hot fifteen year old" in the first poem I open in my reading of Meadowlands this morning.

I wanted to say hello, and that I love that poem.



In "The Rescue" by Alison Stine, the frail girl volunteers, or maybe she's not frail, but that's what I see in the poem; she wants to participate, or does she, but she changes her mind but it's too late. And the rest of the class sees that.

Alison Stine tells it better, but anyway, I love that poem, too. I must have read it first in the New England Review, but you can read it on Verse Daily: http://www.versedaily.org/2009/therescue.shtml.

If you wonder why I miss Ohio, look at this picture: http://www.alisonstine.com

No, I did not spend time in pictures like that in my Ohio. I don't know if I could for so long, but aren't all fetishes like that?

I can't tell if the HTML code is all fucked up on purpose, but aren't I one to think that's cool either way?
