9 July 2019: Spent some of today doing some planning for a research trip in August. And a lot of that made me anxious and uneasy. And then--right on time--arrived an email from the Academy of American Poets featuring poems about travel. Two of them stood out to me, both reminding me of some of what I like about travel (particularly about airports--and that list is very short).
The Rita Dove poem calls to mind how I like to imagine where everyone is heading and what their lives are like.
The Ellen Bass poem captures perhaps my favorite airport occurrence: the reunion. And gosh, this poem is charming and sweet.
