When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
Maybe this comes to mind because we recently lost Steven Heighton, but his “The Waking Comes Late” is a particularly dog-earred poem in my library. The language is simple and lush. The vivid memory of planting trees with a loved one, regret, grief… it touches me every time I read it.
