The reader can swirl, dive, float among them grabbing handfuls of seasons. Watson's "water" gathers as snow, rain, clouds. Find it in swamps or perhaps dribbling down windows or as blood coursing through veins, Watson invites readers to immerse themselves, aware that an outstretched hand is nigh. <BR/><BR/>Line in quotes above is from Watson's poem “The Sculptress” on p 30 of <I> The Distance Between Two Hands </I>. These thoughts have been shared on my facebook page as well under Goodreads.Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347940131521770355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-36661769533212357552008-12-03T12:47:00.000-08:002008-12-03T12:47:00.000-08:00What a truly beautiful poet.
