“The sun set in the sea; the same odd sun / rose from the sea, / and there was one of it and one of me.” & “Lose something every day. Accept the fluster / of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.”

After the first poem I knew I was in presence of a master. Had the strange experience of reading a poem and knowing it was describing Maine, despite my never having been in Maine.

Interesting poems; a bit dry for me. But I liked the ability to see multiple interpretations. Especially liked "In The Waiting Room".
