My initial reaction to finchy’s work was not positive. I thought that she is a prose writer and maybe poetry is not her thing. But I have read her almost every poem on this board. I think this is one of her better work.
i love the texture of the earth when i'm in the air /
un fortunate lee / i don't real lee like fly ing /
the take off / the land ing /the clouds / the bumps in / be tween / /
fortunate lee / i don't fly too often /
i should have taken pictures when i was st.ill over nevada / / it is a true study in erosion / but it didn't occur to me / to pull out my camera until we were just south of spokane
