A Year of Being Here (final poem): Phyllis Cole-Dai: "On How to Pick and Eat Poems" Stop whatever it is you’re doing. Come down from the attic. Grab a bucket or a basket and head for light. That’s where the best poems grow, and in the dappled dark.

Wendell Berry: "2007, VI" ["It is hard to have hope"] Your hope of Heaven, let it rest on the ground underfoot. Be it lighted by the light that falls freely upon it after the darkness of the nights and the darkness of our ignorance and madness. Let it be lighted also by the light that is within you, which is the light of imagination. By it you see the likeness of people in other places to yourself in your place.
