Wormser Friday: Poetry and Loss

Loved this quote from poet Baron Wormser: 

...poetry and loss -- no transience, no poetry -- if everything were permanent, we wouldn't have poetry.

-- from "A Conversation with Baron Wormser," in The Writer's Chronicle, March/April 2009

[He also has a book that sounds right up my alley: The Road Washes Out in Spring: A Poet's Memoir of Living Off the Grid.]
