i love when professors assign good books

Also this makes me really want to read Inger Christensen’s book, “Alphabet.”

If knowing I’m in the preserve of poetry when I want to write it, I suppose this book, then, is poetry too? Because while on my two hour train ride, instead of reading this like I planned, I spent most of it writing a poem “The Rushing of the Trees” inspired by my circumstances and by reading this book.

“I know I’m in the presence of poetry when I, too, want to write it.”

This book is changing my life! I feel it permeating every fiber of my body!
