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.
