Commentary by Ivan M. Granger

It's been far too long since we last had a poem by Elizabeth Reninger.

Each time I read this poem, feeling for an image or idea to hook my attention and suggest something to write in commentary, I find myself transported, line-by-glowing line, through to the end. I'll sit silent today and reread this poem once more. My advice? Do the same.

And have a beautiful day!
