DPF / Eberhart

I met Richard Eberhart in a poetry workshop which he led for a day at UF, in 1987 or 1988. He very kindly passed Emily Dickinson’s handshake to me: from her hand to an intervening hand to his hand to mine. This one’s from The Voice That is Great Within Us, an anthology from 1970, edited by Hayden Carruth.

The fogs are as unpredictable as the winds.
The next generation comes surely on
