-writers
-not
-to
-show
-their
-work
-to
-anyone
-at

-stages
-the

-the

-the

-i
-guess
-the
-writer
-of
-that
-lost
-article
-must
-work
-the

-way
-leading
-to
-their
-advice
-if
-the
-luminous
-clarity
-of

-that
-just

-it
-down
-ruins
-it
-somehow
-telling
-people
-about
-it
-is
-even
-worse
-but
-back
-to
-that
-robert
-hass
-poem
-while
-he
-does
-say
-that
-thing
-about
-the
-luminous
-clarity
-of
-a
-general
-idea
-and
-he
-adds
-to
-it
-that
-a
-word
-is
-elegy
-to
-what
-it
-signifies
-his
-tone
-is
-lightly
-chiding
-this
-philosophy
-he
-opens
-his
-poem
-with
-all
-the
-new
-thinking
-is
-about
-loss
-/
-in
-this
-it
-resembles
-all
-the
-old
-thinking
-which
-to
-my
-mind
-lampoons
-both
-the
-new
-and
-the
-old
-thinking
-for
-not
-having
-anything
-new
-ultimately
-to
-say
-he
-attributes
-these
-thoughts
-to
-a
-friend
-whose
-voice
-carried
-a
-thin
-wire
-of
-grief
-a
-tone
-/
-almost
-querulous
-about
-that
-loss
-of
-luminous
-clarity
-the
-speaker
-of
-hass's
-poem
-remembers
-a
-woman
-he
-made
-love
-to
-once
-and
-this
-image
-takes
-over
-the
-poem
-in
-all
-its
-specificity
-from
-her
-small
-shoulders
-to
-his
-childhood
-river
-/
-with
-its
-island
-willows
-to
-the
-way
-her
-hands
-dismantled
-bread
-even
-in
-disproving
-his
-friend's
-remarks
-through
-his
-imagery
-the
-speaker
-of
-meditation
-at
-legunitas
-admits
-that
-it
-hardly
-had
-to
-do
-with
-her
-and
-here
-is
-the
-heart
-of
-what
-hass
-is
-saying
-about
-poetry
-a
-poem
-hardly
-has
-to
-do
-with
-what
-it's
-written
-about
-on
-the
-surface
-level
-as
-richard
-hugo
-says
-it
-in
-a
-famous
-essay
-a
-poem
-has
-a
-triggering
-subject
-and
-it
-has
-a
-real
-or
-generated
-subject
-which
-for
-hugo
-in
-meditation
-at
-legunitas
-is
-something
-about
-the
-way
-that
-not
-only
-general
-ideas
-but
-particulars
-such
-as
-the
-body
-or
-hands
-or
-the
-thing
-her
-father
-said
-that
-hurt
-her
-which
-is
-such
-a
-beautiful
-generality
-that
-is
-somehow
-also
-a
-particular
-truth
-are
-luminous
-to
-poetry
-and
-to
-life-as-lived
-the
-philosophers
-can
-say
-what
-they
-want
-but
-we
-experience
-the
-world
-bodily
-and
-particularly
-to
-ourselves
-there's
-still
-a
-problem
-with
-language
-however
-to
-which
-hass
-speaks
-by
-the
-end
-of
-his
-poem
-with
-those
-repetitions
-of
-blackberry
-blackberry
-blackberry
-in
-that
-as
-jack
-gilbert
-says
-in
-his
-poem
-the
-forgotten
-dialect
-of
-the
-heart
-how
-astonishing
-it
-is
-that
-language
-can
-almost
-mean
-/
-but
-frightening
-that
-it
-does
-not
-quite
-there
-is
-still
-that
-irritable
-reaching
-after
-fact
-reason
-that
-language
-as
-communication
-requires
-i
-think
-keats
-would
-agree
-that
-he
-wrote
-about
-a
-near-unattainable
-ideal
-in
-his
-letter
-that
-only
-shakespeare
-and
-maybe
-coleridge
-and
-a
-few
-others
-could
-achieve
-this
-negative
-capability
-gilbert
-furthers
-keats
-in
-asserting
-that
-no
-matter
-what
-we
-write
-the
-words
-/
-get
-it
-wrong
-that
-utterance
-is
-itself
-that
-irritable
-reaching
-in
-gilbert's
-poem
-though
-he
-does
-reach
-after
-something
-in
-the
-second
-half
-of
-the
-poem
-he
-begins
-to
-imagine
-what
-the
-mysterious
-sumerian
-tablets
-could
-be
-as
-poetry
-instead
-of
-just
-business
-records
-my
-joy
-is
-the
-same
-as
-twelve
-ethiopian
-goats
-standing
-in
-the
-morning
-light
-o
-lord
-thou
-art
-slabs
-of
-salt
-and
-ingots
-of
-copper
-as
-grand
-as
-ripe
-barley
-under
-the
-wind's
-labor
-her
-breasts
-are
-six
-white
-oxen
-loaded
-with
-bolts
-of
-long-fibered
-egyptian
-cotton
-my
-love
-is
-a
-hundred
-pitchers
-of
-honey
-shiploads
-of
-thuya
-are
-what
-my
-body
-wants
-to
-say
-to
-your
-body
-giraffes
-are
-this
-desire
-in
-the
-dark
-this
-is
-my
-favorite
-part
-of
-the
-poem
-and
-i
-think
-it's
-because
-gilbert
-like
-hass
-reaches
-for
-the
-specific
-in
-the
-general
-he
-brings
-huge
-ideas
-like
-the
-lord
-or
-love
-or
-joy
-into
-the
-specific
-images
-of
-salt
-copper
-or
-honey
-or
-like
-he
-says
-at
-the
-end
-of
-his
-poem
-what
-we
-feel
-most
-has
-/
-no
-name
-but
-amber
-archers
-cinnamon
-horses
-and
-birds
-this
-ultimately
-is
-what
-keats
-was
-getting
-at
-and
-hugo
-too
-that
-the
-real
-subject
-of
-any
-poetry
-is
-not
-capturable
-in
-the
-words
-of
-the
-poem
-but
-that
-rather
-a
-poem
-speaks
-around
-its
-subject
-to
-be
-honest
-all
-art
-may
-do
-this
-what
-sets
-a
-poem
-apart
-is
-its
-honesty
-about
-that
-fact
