Th Wild Iris by Louise Gluck
You. The great American poet and Nobel laureate Louise Glick died this week at the age of 80 from cancer. A lot of us are going to miss her tremendously. I had the opportunity to hear her read a few times and to meet her a few times, and it was always a transformative experience to be in her presence. You will gather from that that we were not in any way close friends

Catherine, thank you so much for reading this poem and for letting us know about her passing. And I love the way you just expressed this idea of the finality of someone's creating in our world when they leave our world, and it's so final and it's so profound. And I really think that artists leave such profound leg disease
Thanks. Deborah, I loved your mentioning of voice messages here. I have many objects from my mother who died just under a year ago. But I think I treasure both those voice messages and then also emails and her poems, the things that she has written that were spoken that express her mind. I treasure those more than I treasure the objects that she's left me
