Marchetti, Sandra 2015
You miss it, craning
away from verdancy.
Pause in this place
while I glaze you;
my head tilts
a direction you can’t read.
– Sandra Marchetti, “Sur l’herbe”

Poem & Conversation With Sandra Marchetti – So to Speak
When I’ve read this poem at events or workshops, most folks think of it as a take on Bishop’s “The Fish.” And, of course, Bishop is well known for her fishing imagery, being from Nova Scotia, etc. My favorite poem of hers is “At the Fishhouses,” which provides the epigraph for my full-length collection, Confluence.
I listen to your fishing
story and wonder,
does anyone cook
the catch anymore?
– Sandra Marchetti, “Imagination”
