What happens when you make your life all about safety? Especially in a world where there is none, where diadems drop every moment? You miss out. You live in hope--and miss the grand arc of time swirling above you.

Emily Dickinson, Poem #124 ("Safe in their Alabaster Chambers")

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, on this bookmarked journey through some of the best lyric poetry in English . I've got a passion for small, evocative poems. I'd like to share that with out--as well as those poems, of course! Together, we'll encounter the core things that make us human: love, the inner life, the emotions, our notion of purpose, and our relationship with the natural world around us. Join me. We humans are made for each other!
