• 1935 doğumlu amerikalı şair. sıradan şeyleri -belki de çok olağan dışı- uslubu ile bambaşka bir boyuta çıkararak anlatır.

  this is important. this should take
  some really deep thought. we should take
  small thoughtful steps.
  
  but, bless us, we didn’t."

  wild geese
  
  “you do not have to be good.
  you do not have to walk on your knees
  for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
  you only have to let the soft animal of your body
  love what it loves.
  tell me about despair, yours, and ı will tell you mine.
  meanwhile the world goes on.
  meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
  are moving across the landscapes,
  over the prairies and the deep trees,
  the mountains and the rivers.
  meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
  are heading home again.
  whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
  the world offers itself to your imagination,
  calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
  over and over announcing your place
  in the family of things.”

  "the uses of sorrow
  (in my sleep i dreamed this poem)
  
  someone i loved once gave me
  a box full of darkness.
  it took me years to understand
  that this, too, was a gift.”
• not anyone who says, “i’m going to be
  careful and smart in matters of love,”
  who says, “i’m going to choose slowly,”
  but only those lovers who didn’t choose at all
  but were, as it were, chosen
  by something invisible and powerful and uncontrollable
  and beautiful and possibly even
  unsuitable —
  only those know what i’m talking about
  in this talking about love
  
  sifatlari art arda siralayip ritmi yukseltip, unsuitabledan sonra es vererek dorukta oldugumuzu bildiren, ardindan son iki satirla cat diye darbeyi en yuksekten indiren edebi bir orkestra sefi.
