I just heard about the passing of Ruth Stone. I never worked with Ruth Stone, nor did I ever have the opportunity to hear her read, but I greatly admired her work. (I have quite a few of her books on my bookshelf) A few years ago, I taught one of Stone’s poems, “Another Feeling” in my creative writing class. One of my students said that the poem “really bothered her.” When I asked why, the student told me, “Well, I thought about the poem long after last class was over.”
Wow. Isn’t that what a great poem should do?
You can read “Another Feeling” here.
RIP Ruth Stone

Thank you for the link to that poem. I will be thinking of it all day, too!
