One of my favorite poems. She lived in Cambridge when I was there and we even shared a publisher for a time. Life has a way of turning back on itself. I did not know this poem however. Thanks.

Her son went to Putney. She read there,I think the first famous poet I ever met.

Have you read Pig Dreams? Illustrated by my sister Linda's classmate at Putney, Liebe Coolidge. I have it somewhere-- am now inspired to dig it up & read it again.

Linda, Liebe and I were all classmates. But I will look for the book.
