During one of the early episodes of Fame on television (possibly the first episode), Debbie Allen's character, the dance instructor, tells her students that "dance is the way we imagine that gods walk." If I may be so bold, I would borrow that bit of wisdom and add that "poetry is the way we imagine that gods talk." If true, Jo VonBargen has her ear clamped to the gates of Heaven. I have many favorite poems but only one favorite poet and she's that one. From This Far Time is a wonderful collection. It's also a wonderful excuse to keep your Kindle by the bed to be opened whenever you need to be soothed or find some morsel of wisdom.
