What Sparks Poetry:
David Herd on Emily Dickinson's [I dwell in Possibility —]
"The poem’s possibilities are many. You feel them at every turn; in every space held open by her signature dash. The windows are numerous in this house because the poem’s meanings shift, each word opened to the range of its definitions. When she occupies in the final stanza–when she states her “occupation”– we see her in her self-appointed role as maker of poems." |

In Memoriam: David Wagoner, Poet of the Northwest
“Mr. Wagoner edited the journal Poetry Northwest from 1966 to 2002, publishing countless poets there, both established and new. Many other aspiring poets went through his classes at the university, and he was a champion of the art form. 'Those who do without poetry should imagine their lives without music—they are missing that much by missing poetry.'"
