Very cool to see these early poems bundled together by Gnomon Press -- doing the good work, over there. www.ohioswallow.com/978091778843...

Happy 91st birthday to Wendell Berry, who once wrote to me when I was feeling very alone and homesick for Kentucky: "Feeling far from home, I think, is probably a sign of good health."

Midnight blessing.
