In few spare words, the New England poet baffles us and leaves us with the sheer beauty of her words, her craft. She'll tell us how the sun rose. Except she won't.

Emily Dickinson, Poem 204 ("I'll tell you how the sun rose")

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!
