very strong poem, captured that longing for someone we haven't met yet or, as you put it "see their contours before there were people to fill in that space." good stuff, thanks

I just reread this post. Man, that poem is good. So captures my experience with a friend who disappeared from my life. Poof, with no explanation. You know.

Do you like The Years?

I love this poem and this post. Brings me in close, speaks deeply, aches. The poem speaks to friendship among women and its beauty and pain. Powerful. Your book list is compelling. Brava on all of it!
