Oh so delicious, nourishing and flavorsome! Was absolutely delighted to start my day with this, this morning; "With my whole body" - I love this, thank you.
As a long-time fan of Wallace Stevens, as as someone who has written poetry in response to his work, I was excited to read "Peaches" before my eyes hit the first line. Now, after having read it 3 times, with plans to go back for more, I am refreshed by the embodied, worshipful treatment you gave to one of God's best inventions (especially in cobbler, I must say). "With my whole body..." that is a phrase I will be stealing–not for my own writing so much as to massage it into my prayer and my praise. Beautiful work, Elizabeth. Thank you.
Elizabeth, brilliant work on both of these poems! I appreciate how different but tremendous in their own ways each are.
These are gorgeous. <3 I love the holy delight in the first one, and the rhthym of the second is so powerful.
Let There Be More is wonderful! Such vivid imagery and singing rhymes. I particularly like the line "Let there be water, turned wine like the sea."
Just beautiful.
Amen. I have nothing else to say.
