Browning’s “Karshish the Arab Physician”

May 29, 2016 by Mark Hansard No Comments

Kairos — from “The Kingdom: Poems for Ordinary Time”

October 31, 2013 by Hannah Eagleson No Comments

The wheat is full, pushing through the husks, ripe. / It overflows, lacking only / Those who yearn to harvest, / To gather and to give. . . .

Kingdom — from “The Kingdom: Poems for Ordinary Time”

October 24, 2013 by Hannah Eagleson No Comments

This riot of lilies and sparrows, / Of pearls and trees and / Fields and fishermen, / This topsy turvy jumble
