Still, the permeability seems to travel both ways: a changed self will find new meanings in a good poem, but a good poem also changes the shape of the self. Having read it, we are not who we were the moment before&#8230;. Art lives in what it awakens in us&#8230; Through a good poem&#8217;s eyes we see the world liberated from what we would have it do. Existence does not guarantee us destination, nor trust, nor equity, nor one moment beyond this instant&#8217;s almost weightless duration. It is a triteness to say that the only thing to be counted upon is that what you count on will not be what comes. Utilitarian truths evaporate: we die. Poems allow us not only to bear the tally and toll of our transience, but to perceive, within their continually surprising abundance, a path through the grief of that insult into joy.\u201d \u2015 Jane Hirshfield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you&rsquo;re wondering why I love to buttress my writing with poetry, I&rsquo;ll let&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/brian-saturday\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2926,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"geo":{"latitude":37.3890915,"longitude":-5.9844589,"description":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2926"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/caminomap\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
