In "Cosmology of the Cloud with Baba as the Rainmaker," memory was a tool that bonded the collage of moments in which water or rainfall denotes a form of grieving. As a child, bathing in the first rain of every new season was how we thought to attract fortune of the season, until we suffered flooding or lost friends to water-related disasters.

What Sparks Poetry:
Aaron McCollough on Denise Levertov's The Poet In The World
"We are, as she says, 'living our whole lives in a state of emergency' and therefore have no choice but to resist the petty politics of disenfranchisement peddled by nationalist revanchism and instead to embrace a truly radical form of conservatism—the effort to 'save that earthly life, that miracle of being, which poetry conserves and celebrates.'" |
