“The Meadow... Only one of them succeeded in making a life here... He weathered. Before a backdrop of natural beauty, he lived a life from which everything was taken but a place. He lived so close to the real world it almost let him in.”
James Galvin, The Meadow

“Do you want to come in?
Take a deep breath.
Everything is about to happen.”
James Galvin

“Let us begin with a simple line,
Drawn as a child would draw it,
To indicate the horizon,

More real than the real horizon,
Which is less than line,
Which is visible abstraction, a ratio.

The line ravishes the page with implications
Of white earth, white sky!”
James Galvin, Resurrection Update: Collected Poems, 1975-1997
