Quote of the Day
Carcanet has always been the place to look for considerations of purely literary and intellectual merit. Its list relies on the vision and the faith and the energy of people who care about books, and values. It is thus as rare as it is invaluable.
Frederic Raphael

Poem of the Day
August
One more day to tease us.
Taken from 'Vinegar Hill'...I am ready by then. Cherries Are out of season. Soon Peaches and nectarines too. Line of sun moving, until Its light is all exposure, and It is time to move indoors But lazily, like dust in shade. Then the warning note that sounded When she came here. Her voice with all The years, the sweet knowledge, but not Enough to be prepared. |
