    I love this poem. When I live in Eugene, during my undergrad days, I would fly over Mt. St. Helen, the Mt. Fuji of the Cascade and admire her perfect form and beauty. Back then she was whole and had not spoken in ages. I returned to my native Missouri and the month before the birth of my son; she spoke fire and ash. Her form had changed and barren was the landscape. She is a mighty a terra former, a creator of change and a revealer of rebirth.

    ty for your surprise visit and beautiful note! what a wonderful feeling, that any of the peace and inspiration i get from the growing things and the creepy crawlers and the birds and the bees can be translated and shared! looking forward to reading your work! -dh

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
