Oh oh oh……..I love that poem, love it, I read it a couple of times before but I’ve never heard him read it and that makes a BIG difference, though it’s pretty close to perfection already. That is his defining poem, if you ask me.
Apologies for my last remark. I cannot imagine you censoring even my wildest comments. must have forgotten to press a button. Or commented on the wrong post. I’d said something like:
“I never heard Buk’s voice before. He sounds delightfully unpretentious, with the sincerity that shines through words I’d only seen on a page before. Since we don’t have bluebirds over here, I can only imagine what they symbolize. But that is perhaps true of all poetry. We can only imagine.”
