+ 27.225 MHz: Cosmological Poem After Psalm 27
[after Spinoza's poem, "Something To Think About,"
and the cosmic poems of patriciajj]
Dust we are and to dust we shall return:
stardust. But inquiring, we can discern
the beauty---implied; expressed---of the cosmos
that only the soul that vivifies dust knows.
This is the height and depth of our poetry
that shall transcend our mortal finity,
to be borne with us into the Heavenly---

When I began to study the poems of Wallace Stevens, back in 1978, I was similtaneously overwhelmed and fascinated by the world his words described. I did not expect to experience this a second time, in my old age . . . until I began to read your poetry. Reading Stevens, I thought no one---not even Eliot---could ever reach me as he did; then I began to read your poetry. Stevens is great; you are equally as great. Thank you for all you have brought into my life.
