What a sublime poem - I do not read enough poetry anymore. As someone who started out writing lots of poetry (I think it was the rhythm of it that first attracted me), I read too little of it, and if this gem is any indication of what is out there, I am obviously missing out.

I'm so glad you had a lovely trip - when I lived in the UK and would come back here for infrequent visits, it was family that I longed for and grew homesick for, not the hometown or the conveniences of the US.

By the way - I was thinking about you this morning. Would you mind if I picked your brain about a couple of things in The Toils of the Just? Weird question, I know, but it's been on my mind for a few days.
