This is an exquisite poem. Nothing that the WH says will alter reality. The land, the people—all is as it is. The new, old, ancient no-name land of our selves and the earth.
So beautiful! Met you when you came to Anchorage. I love this poem and your beautiful words and humor. Not knowing where it leads, our awareness of the next step and what is needed is the path. The mountain has ALWAYS been Denali. Thank you! ❤️
I love your poem the rhythm of words allowed me travel.along with this poem also I love how the poem begins to transform onto a confession as if you and your words became as one
Great I am so sad today and riding on your words calmed my fear of writing and how emotion is so pycho-physical
I restrain them and I am cowardly closed I must come to terms and tame them. Thank so very much Sherman for your wonderful work
I love the concept of desire paths, so deftly introduced and defined in the path of the poem!
And the way it continually re-emerges to draw the poem further along as the path of the metaphor continually wends back around and merges to the path of the poem’s inclusions of other thoughts.
Aaargh! My attempt to share my pleasure in the poem is inappropriately heavy and clumsy, where your poem does all that with the lightness and clarity of a dance from Fred Astaire. Thank you.
Brilliant. You are my hero - making poetry out of nonsense. Interesting observation, about Ohio being the birthplace of McKinley and people in Ohio were/are disappointed that the name of the mountain was changed. Bet it's only SOME people.
And again, I so appreciate the heart in this poem, but also the humour. So much depth. So much beauty.
Lovely!
Beautifully written. Thank-you!

Love the poem. There better be a really good reason to change the name of a place. This isn't. Thank you Sherman

I just love this poem so much. It will stay with me. Thank you, Sherman.

I'm sure most Ohioans aren't even aware of Denali and McKinley's connection.
I want o marinate in your words….
Thank you, Susan.
