The Lotus Flowers by Ellen Bryant Voigt
4.0
Lovely, accessable poetry. I thought The Cusp was espcially moving as a dialogue with part 2 of October by Louise Glück, whom this collection is dedicated to. My other favorites were A Song, The Waterfall, and Dancing with Poets.
"If they are frightened,
if they also grieve,
let them comfort one another,
I cannot help them, I am riding
each enormous wave of this absence
that knows no further shore."
