| Painting by Joni Di Pirro |
By Lisa Lipham Lemza
So I bought the Great Poet’s Work
Some years ago.
Dutifully read it,
And was, shall we say,
Underwhelmed.
I picked up that book last week—
Elegant and slim—
And found each line shot with electric wonder,
Mind falling off the cliffs of words:
Spinning, ecstatic, stomach dropping.
It’s not the book that’s changed.
