monday poem #41: Naomi Shihab Nye, "French Movies"

[heresluck]

I've been thinking about people I've loved who are out of my life now one way or another.

The last line of this poem may be my single favorite line from any poem ever.

I love Naomi Shihab Nye. I can't remember exactly what else I've read, but I remember that I liked it a lot. It was in one of my poetry classes called Lyric Encounters.. which reminds me, I never mentioned how I appreciated your explanations of narrative, lyric and epic as it related to vidding, because I recently learned all of that in poetry. :)

Nye's work is wonderful. Your college library probably has one or more of her books; they're really worth reading.

And hey, how cool that you've just been thinking about narrative etc. in poetry! I hope it helped the vidding stuff make sense; I wasn't at all sure that I was being clear in my explanations.
