    <body><![CDATA[This book was a birthday present -- a few birthdays ago now -- from Ryan Hickerson. It's one of the best birthday presents I've ever received. It will probably be under &quot;currently-reading&quot; forever because it's the kind of book I pick through and thumb through and browse through, sometimes systematically, sometimes not, and the poems are always new each time. That's partially because I have a terrible memory, and partially because I age and they change for me, and partially because the writing is just so good. <br/><br/>There's one, not necessarily my favorite, but perhaps a favorite, that makes me think of childhood and my little boys:<br/><br/>Before the ice is in the pools--<br/>Before the skaters go,<br/>Or any cheek at nightfall<br/>Is tarnished by the snow--<br/><br/>Before the fields have finished,<br/>Before the Christmas tree, <br/>Wonder upon wonder<br/>Will arrive to me!<br/><br/>What we touch the hems of<br/>On a summer's day --<br/>What is only walking<br/>Just a bridge away--<br/><br/>That which sings so -- speaks so --<br/>When there's no one here--<br/>Will the frock I wept in<br/>Answer me to wear?]]></body>
