Thank you, Reena. I was thinking about the (often disliked) phrase ‘I hope this email finds you well,’ and how mundane and overused it is. I was wondering what it might look like to use a sentiment like that more honestly and intention. This poem was also inspired by ‘Dedications’ by Adrienne Rich, where she imagines the reader of the poem using an anaphora!
Aaaaaa how you blend the personal with the universal!! The images of the weary sun, the damp cold, and the sunken heat—each detail feels so real and yummmyyy. Treat to read as always!
Anagha, this wonderful poem has found me as I am, and well! Delighted with my first introduction to your writing, looking forward to exploring much more. Thank you!
Lovely Anagha! I am curious how this one came about...
