UNDERGROUND RIVERS

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

This volume brims with the gifts and losses, struggles and triumphs that the poet gleans from nature, and which both instruct and sustain us all. Bearing an exquisite beauty and purity, these poems soar.
—Maurya Simon

I doubt that I can praise a poet more highly.
—David Lee

In lines lyrical, sensual, or short and harsh, the earth's claim on human spirit and ingenuity map these poems."
—Hilda Raz

FROM THE BOOK

What Will Remain

Lit from inside, birches
spark, flare,

blaze trails
for travelers

outstretched in air.
Tawny cranes

return to rest
where earth cradles water.

Cranes graze, pace, graze, then
flap scuttle jabber scold . . .

This harvest
flashes, wingspan of sand,

hillside of crook-necks
soon to move on.

What will remain
has always remained—

water seized
by ice-driven air,

faith through hard cold
that the languages

of marsh, sky,
sandhill crane

will keep on
with us or without.
