Quick face it pulls to make me let
It leave me to go across
In roughly your direction, hates
To go out maybe so completely
On another silence not its own.”

from “Approaches to How They Behave” — W.S. Graham (thanks to Heather Christle for the spot)

There is a new tumblr called Poets Touching Trees. Frankly, I am disturbed to discover that all of the trees being “touched” are male.

Here’s hoping the creators of this tumblr can “turn it around”.

What are your most highly anticipated books/movies/albums/etc forthcoming in 2012?
