Today's poetry theme was "fields." I read Pasolini's The Resistance and its Light, Jenny read one by Mark Strand, Will read his own poem (one of his best), but Karen knocked it out of the park with Marge Piercy's To Be of Use, from a book my father (a bookseller) recommended to her mother.
Afterwards, Bird, Jenny, and I explored the shell mounds from the cretaceous period when this area was the Western Interior Seaway.
