Scarlet Stars in a Green Cosmos
Whether subtle or obvious, small or large, most wildflowers don’t have to do much work to get seen. Some require you at least be paying attention, but most find a way to get themselves noticed. Every now and then, something can be truly breathtaking, even if you’ve seen it before. Hiking a path through the woods in California this spring, I had my first encounter with such a wildflower. My wife saw it first, but rather than call my attention to it, she allowed me to discover it for myself. To do otherwise would have been a bit like her opening my birthday presents for me.

The Space between Memory and Hope: Robin Loftus' Backyard Cosmos
Robin Loftus' new collection of poetry Backyard Cosmos is a small collection, almost more of a pamphlet than a book, containing 50 pieces including a few haiku, but the work has that transformative quality which Ellmann refers to. Some of the poems are light, delicate, taking on subject matter like nature and the seasons, and others are rich, heavy, dealing with motherhood, love, death, grief and the ultimate subject of poetry; what it means to be a human being.
