Opened up my inbox today, and found the '10-line Tuesday' poem for this week, from Maya Stein. It's called "at home at the edge of the world", and I really like it. I've been getting a 10-line poem a week for a long time, since I stumbled across a poem by Maya Stein called "Tulips" and wanted to know more. There's also one called "the velocity of tulips" (and I'm beginning to wonder about my use of a capital T a moment ago).
I haven't found "Tulips" ("tulips"?) online, and maybe I'll ask permission to transcribe my copy of it here*. The link this post does need is this one, where you'll find past 10-line Tuesday poems going back a while. If you get them weekly (there's a sign-up) they come headed by a photograph. At time of writing, "at home at the edge of the world" hasn't been uploaded to the site, but they say deferred gratification is good for the soul. Or if they don't, maybe they could?
*Update. Retrospective permission. Just thought to check, and look what I found.
