Poem-a-Day - "The pines make a music like no other"

January 3, 2023
Celebrating a New Month
 
Celebrate the beginning of this new year and month with a few poets born in January: 
 
Beat, Old Heart” by Carl Sandburg (January 6, 1878)
On Love” by Kahlil Gibran (January 6, 1883)
Gospel” by Philip Levine (January 10, 1928)
What’s Broken” by Dorianne Laux (January 10, 1952)
Once in the 40’s” by William Stafford (January 17, 1914)
To the Country” by Rubén Darío (January 18, 1867)
Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809)
“I’ve watched these poets climb down inside themselves to bring up a language only they knew how to speak. I went about looking for poems that [was] grounded in the particularity, yet they go deep down inside the poet to express what it means to be human. They have an emotion that can be recognized in the language, no matter our place in the world.”

Tyree Daye is the author of Cardinal (Copper Canyon Press, 2020) and River Hymns (American Poetry Review, 2017), winner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize. Read and listen to Daye discuss the Poem-a-Day curatorial approach and more on Poets.org
