Nora

This evening Nora came to our town to screen her film, Ruth Stone's Vast Library of the Female MInd  to help the library celebrate Poemtown and National Poetry Month.  It was even better seeing it a a second time.

A Poem from Ruth Stone

The Porch
Whatsoever comes to the screen,
firefly or moth,
I lean back in the wicker chair,
the porch my fragile skin
between me
and the gorgeous open maw,
the suckling swallowing world.
